Excellent bat
I recently upgraded my 8 1/2 yr old son (big boy) from a drop 10 to this drop 8 (29/21) and he is handling the extra weight with no issues. Took him to cages twice and twice to field and he is hitting bombs with this bat. The bat has great pop for the price. Very balanced and the color way is really cool looking. For the price I highly recommend this bat. He will be using this bat for practice and his cat9 connect (also drop 8) for games.
