Best place to buy baseball bats online? [HELP]

Badge image
I am needing to get a late graduation present for one of my friends. She is really into baseball so I figured I would buy her a bat. The problem is is that I basically do not know much about the sport or its equipment.

I've been looking on sites like http://www.fatswing.com/Baseball-Bats_c_21.html but have yet to find a bat I think she will be best with. She is a right hander if that makes a difference.

Does anyone have recommendations of sites to use to buy baseball bats online?

Thanks!

She? Do you want a good usuable bat? If so, which type of league and what is your budget? Also if this a gift you may want to consider a personalized wood bat.

Oh yeah the mere mention of her being a right handed batter brings even more questions, like, does she play baseball or softball? Does this graduate plan to use the bat in an adult league or for school/club team? Lastly, do you want this person to be able to use this bat regularly?

to be honest, I think a baseball jersey would be better. She'll probably like that more. Just ask her if she has a favorite team

I'm pretty sure this is just spam. Registered yesterday to post a link to his/her own online store on a now public forum.

Whoever decided to make these forums public made a bad decision for users, but I guess it's all about cheap SEO and cheap income...

Yes, a she. Its going to be for her high school summer camp league. Price range for the bat is around $2-300.

Is there a benefit to a wood bat VS another type of material? Do they perform differently against a metal bat?

Thanks!

This is a great idea as well. I was thinking about maybe just getting her a gift certificate to MLB.com or etc and let her decide what she wants to get.

Most camps will have their own bats and there really is no reason to buy a $200 bat for one or two summers of rec league. Plus if this not a dedicated baseball camp, they will more than likely play softball and not baseball. Buying a baseball bat for a softball game is not good.

As for the differences, there are plenty. Wood and Metal do perform differently however, unless she is going pro and she plans to use this competitively, I would stick to metal.

At the end of the day, this doesn't sound like she will be using this bat competitively and it would really be a waste of $200 when you could easily go down to your local sporting goods store and buy one for $50 or like roberts stated, buy her a jersey. Now, if we were talking about competitive softball that is a whole different story and the $200 or more bat may be a great gift.
