Cincy softball nation,

I am looking to buy a bat for the upcoming season. Now, I'm 5'3" and would prefer a smaller bat. I know seems like very slowpitch bat comes in only 34" but I'm looking for the rare shorter bat. I am looking for suggestions. Thanks for your time and effort.

For men's slowpitch, by rule all bats are 34" in length. The only softball bats shorter would be womens fastpitch bats.

Thanks for the reply. 8 Ball lol, thanks Captian Obvious lol. And to man SW52...how about you pull out the USSSA rule book and look under equipment. Bats up...see the word "UP" to 34". 8 ball...by far the best response I've gotten. Thanks

I spoke with a Miken Rep and they do not make a 32" or 33" bat. I think Tim has the best answer for you.

I are smart like anything! I could cut the knob off of a bat, take a inch or 2 off of the handle and reweld it! But I don't think that's legal. I'm a Toolmaker/Moldmaker that would be simple.
