Q: My son is 15 and obviously still growing but at the moment struggles a little to hit his drives through the field.
I’m interested to know if he should be using a heavier bat. What weight bat should he be using?

A: Hi Damian,
It's very difficult to say exactly what weight of bat your son should be using based purely on age. So many physical attributes impact the weight of bat that a player is capable of using. However, a bat that is too light can negatively impact the exit velocity of the ball off the bat. As can a bat that is too heavy for the player to control.
I would suggest visiting the Cricket Performance Lab (in Moorabbin, Vic) if you really want to find out the perfect bat for your son.
Hope this helps.
Cheers, Lachy
