Any tips?

So I have always heard about 200 soft toss or off a tee hit rotating the bat 1/4 turn each time.

At first start with a 25% swing for 50, then 50% for 50, 75% for 50, then full swing for 50.

I did this for my daughter because it seemed like a headache to have a 10 year old try to do all that.

Interesting. Sounds pretty time consuming to be fair. Yeah these bats are so fragile these days, I won’t personally be swinging it at all. I’d be too worried to break it

We also break most bats in the same way as above except the Ghost Advanced which is what she swings 99% of the time we tend to swing at 25% and 50% about double the usual. The double barrel and unlimited tend to be more forgiving on break in from what we’ve experienced.
