Always love the gamer bat …. But to be honest we keep going back to the flat bat mini and long flat back too!

We have the mini snap and I am getting the rest of the bats for winter training this off-season. My question is what balls is everyone using? What's the recommendation?

Thoughts???

@Aj Arroyo Have now taken a couple hundred swings with the short bat - hitting some pretty solidly, mis-hitting a whole bunch including plenty of pop-ups... etc... with the result that I now have a pretty cool wear pattern on the short bat, with at least SOME contact exactly where I would have expected it to be. But I also have a WHOLE BUNCH of what I assume are impacts where I pushed the bat rather than snapping/pivoting correctly... as opposed to these being decent technical swings where I just mis-hit the ball. ...anyway, I am QUITE sure that by now you have a good handful of bats with obvious wear patterns from your more proficient/professional guys, and I was wondering if you could post a pic or two about what a good impact pattern looks like from someone who does this consistently well. (slash, this might be a cool "short") Thanks! In the pic, all of the wear you see is a RHB. I see that if I hold the RH mini half bat with the nub at 10:30 or so that the flat hitting surface is at 9:00 on the clock face. I assume that means that with the short/gamer models that if the nub on the handle is at 10:30/11:00 that the impact surface is still intended to be 9:00 or so on the clock face. Therefore with the nub at 10:30, all of the 12:00 impacts are the equivalent of me cutting the ball with the mini, not hitting it flush. Pushing/other bad hand action, then...

Coach @Aj Arroyo here’s game footage from last weekend. 15u pitcher throwing probably low-mid 70’s. My thoughts: 1) launching too early 2) stance a bit too wide 3) moving too fast and too forward. Including two videos. One is a comparison against Shohei. And the other is the actual at-bat footage.
