I am looking for a new softball bat for the upcoming season and I would like to get it early so that I can become familiar with it before the season starts. I am 5'0 so I need a relatively short bat. I have never really been a long ball hitter and I prefer to be able to swing the bat fast. I am also asked to bunt frequently. So what bat(s) should I consider? Please let me know and thanks in advance!

I have a softball bat, but I'm not sure if it's legal to use. Anybody know what the size ranges are or atleast what the bat ratio is?

I don't care about price. I just want to know which slow pitch softball bat is the best out there right now.

Im playing in men's league softball. Several of these teams crank home runs on us 6,7,8 a game. They also all have $300-$400 bats. We use $40-$60 bats from Walmart. Can the bat really make that much difference and if so what would be a good, moderatly priced bat. I have a hard time when thinking of dishing out $300+ on a bat that I can buy for $50! Any thoughts?
