How do you size a player to a specific bat size?

What's on your mind?

Thanks for the great feedback.

The 63-65 mph was with her hitting instructor at the batting cage where he works. He maxed the machine out to see if her hands were quick enough. They were.

my DD (12, almost 13. 5'2 124lbs) swung an end weighted 31/22(-9) all year long and struggled hitting all year. She changed to a 32/20(-12) for the tournament over the weekend (because it was cold) and hit the ball better than she did all year. several hits and alot of solid contact. I think the bat she used all year has better pop but may have been to heavy for her.
so i am looking to try to figure out if an evenly balanced -10 would be the logical choice?
