What length and weight should a wood bat be for a 14-year-old?

−3, or −2 for a bigger, stronger player, at the length the wood chart gives for your player's height and weight.

The rule

-3 wood (game) or -2 for strong hitters.

Find the height row and the weight column: the number is the length in inches.
