i think its -3
In Effingham County,Georgia the Middle School uses a -3 drop bat. In nassau county, New York the middle school players have to use a -3
That would depend on the length of the bat. The '-2' is known as the 'bat drop' or 'drop weight' and means that the weight of the bat, in ounces, is 2 less than the length of the bat in inches. To find the weight of the bat you must first measure the bat to find its length. If the length of the bat is 30 inches, the weight of the bat is 28 ounces. If the length of the bat is 28 inches, the weight of the bat is 26 ounces.
that is the difference between the length and the weight, and in high school you have to have a -3
The weight of the bat, in ounces, is 3 less than the length of the bat in inches. The -3 is called the 'bat drop' or 'drop weight'. Measure the bat and then subtract 3 from the number of inches and you will determine the weight of the bat in ounces. If the length of the bat is 30 inches, the weight is 27 ounces. If the length of the bat is 33 inches, the weight is 30 ounces. If you see a bat with a -6 on it, that means the weight of the bat, in ounces, is 6 less than the length of the bat in inches ... a -8 means the weight, in ounces, is 8 less than the length of the bat in inches.
The -10 is the 'drop', or 'drop weight', of the bat. The drop is the length of the bat, in inches, subtracted from the weight of the bat in ounces. A -10 bat is a bat whose length, in inches, is 10 more than the weight in ounces. An example of a -10 bat is one whose length is 32 inches and whose weight is 22 ounces.

-5 bat is legal for Central Valley Middle School's , I'm not sure if it has to be BBCOR or BESR.
The -11 is the 'drop' of the bat and means that the number, in ounces, of the weight is 11 less than the number, in inches, of the length of the bat. If the bat is 30 inches in length, the -11 signifies the weight of the bat is 19 ounces. If the bat is 32 inches in length, the -11 signifies the weight of the bat is 21 ounces.
It stands for drop 10. The drop of a bat depends on what the length and weight is. You find out the drop by subtracting the weight from the length. So if your bat was 32 inches long and 22 ounces then it would be drop 10 (-10) if your bat was 32 inches and 25 ounces then it would be drop 7 (-7)
the difference is that if you have a 30 inch bat the weight is 10 ounces less than the length on a -12 its 12 ounces less than the length. in high school and college aluminum bats have a -3 ratio.

The drop is the second most important thing in sizing a player with a new bat. First is the proper length. Once you determine that, the player should swing the heaviest bat she can get around quickly. That's not to say the heaviest bat, but the heaviest bat she can get good bat speed with. For most high school age girls with above average ability that's -10 or even -9. For high school players with average or below (less than a .300 batting average) as well as younger girls the drop should probably be about -11 or -12. As stated before, the first thing to find out is the proper length. To do that click the Bat Sizing Guide link http://www.aluminumbats.com/batsizingguide-thebattersbox.aspx What is the drop? Bat Length Minus The Drop = Bat Weight "The Drop" is a common term for describing the weight of an aluminum bat. It is unique to aluminum and composite bats as the weight of a wood bat varies somewhat within each bat. The drop simply means you take the length of the bat and subtract the drop to determine the weight. For Example: The DeMarini CF4 is a -10 and is available in 31", 32", 33" and 34". Therefore, a 31" would weigh 21 ounces, a 32" would weigh 22 ounces and so on.
