Kind of . Not necessarily . That number is the difference between the length of the bat and the weight . the larger the number, the faster the bat may be swung. I prefer to use a -11 personally . It's great bat speed.

How do you choose a softball bat?

This is a tough question to answer. A softball bat is a very personal thing. It depends on how old you are, how tall you are, and how strong you are. Let me start by stating that the right softball bat is one you can swing! In fastpitch softball it is all about bat speed. The heaviest bat you can swing at FULL speed is the right bat. There are two measurements for a bat. 1) Length, 2)Weight. Weight can be anywhere from 18oz to 24oz. Length may be from 24" to 34". A 5-7 year old may use a 24" bat. While an 18 year old may use an 34" bat. There is one more measurement that you will see. The Weight-Length value. For example, a 20" bat that weights 30oz is a -10. Bats that are -10, -11, and -12 are very popular.


How does drop effect you swing in softball?

The drop is just the difference between the length of the bat and the weight of the bat. Ex: 33", 23oz bat = -10 (drop 10); 33", 24oz = -9 (drop 9) etc. All-in-all it just depends on how tall a person is and how much weight she can handle when swinging. A -9 would be heavier than a -10, but a -9 33" bat weighs as much as a -10 34" bat. So, if a bat is too heavy or too light it can negatively effect the hitter's swing.

What can you make that is about planets which is really simple and quick?

If you're looking for a quick and simple astronomy demonstration or science fair project, you can demonstrate eclipses with a bright light, a basketball and a softball. Place the basketball on a stepstool or stand, and shine the light on it from about 10 feet away. (If you have a globe, it works even better.) Move the softball between the light and the basketball. The shadow of the softball on the basketball is like the shadow of the Moon hitting the Earth, in a solar eclipse. The softball shadow only covers a small area of the basketball. Then move the softball into the shadow of the basketball. The basketball shadow is big enough to completely block the light from hitting the softball, like the Moon in a lunar eclipse.
