Discussion: Lighter bat for a 77 year old player with Parkinson's disease

I CAN NO LONGER PLAY COMPETITVE SOFTBALL, BUT PLAY IN A SENIOR REC LEAGUE. I SWING A 25 OZ. BAT AND FIND IT TO HEAVY. DOES ANY MANUFACTUER MAKE A LIGHTER BAT? THE PARKINSON'S HAS STRAPED ME OF STRENGTH.
THANKS

I would ask your rec league to allow use of possibly a little league aluminum, 30, 29, or 28 inch in length. No one should complain as this would allow a player with the love of the game to continue to play. Many players have kids or grandkids that would have a bat, “play it again” sports also. My Dad had Parkinson’s disease and I know how debilitating it is. Give me an address and I’ll find you a bat and send to you. Good luck and hopefully many more years to play with your friends. RR
To Turning 2:

I want to thank you for your response and understanding of my condition. I have a 17 year old Grandson and i I'm sure he has a few bats lying around. God bless you and yours.

I purchase a 24oz Onyx a few years ago for a ladies senior softball team
The 24 oz Onyx Blake bat feels heavier than the 25 oz Suncoast balanced or the 25 oz Miken Dill balanced. The Dill is a very good bat.
Thank you all for your help. Hit em hard.
