My 4 1/2 years old son is joining T Ball team now. I am interested in buying a practice set for him to play. Their coach is using a black Tee, and black bat. I saw a similar one at amazon. I wonder if this is the right choice for us?
As long as it's a sturdy tee, and not cheaply made, any will work for that age.
As far as a bat, you need to see which one your son can handle weight and length wise. 24-27 inches is what is typically recommended for T-ball, and the weight is what he can hold up easily and swing with it. So you need to let him test some out.
At 4 1/2 as long as he can swing the bat comfortably, that's really all that matters. T-ball is really more about hand eye coordination and getting the jist of things... They'll be plenty of years ahead to worry about getting just the right equipment trust me....Enjoy!
Get the lightest bat that you can find. Dads always think little boys need a bigger bat than the little guys can handle. They will all end up using the lightest one available because they figure out that they can get the best swing.
Thank you, guys. I will try to get a lightest bat.
