Franklin Venom T Ball Bat Reviews

By Bat Digest

Updated November 17, 2022

Franklin Venom T Ball Bat Reviews Featured Image
Franklin's 2020 Venom Tee Ball Bat is a USA approved stick that comes in a drop 12, 11 or 10. The drop, you may want to learn if you're going to get into this sport, is the numerical difference between the length of the bat in inches and the weight of the bat in ounces. So, a 26 inch drop 12 would have a scale weight of around 14 ounces. It is the perfect bat for the 3 through 6 year old looking for a cheap T Ball bat that will do just as good as any other. Here is our Franklin Venom T Ball bat review.

The bat is basic. It's a metal bat that does a decent job of being light. In other words, it's hard to like anything about it other than it is cheap. But, still, the fact we don't hate anything about it makes it recommendable considering its a bat for a 6 year old that is $20.


General Recommendations

You'd do well to check out our bat size chart to make sure you get the right size for your age. The bat comes in a drop 10, 11 and 12. At the upper end a 16 ounce bat is made for a 7 year old---and 16 ounces is the heaviest they make the Venom in a 26-inch drop 10. On the low end it comes in a 24 inch drop 12. As a 12 ounce bat you can expect kids as young as 3 or 4 to swing it alright. We'd size it out like this:

  • 7 Year Old - Stay in the 16 ounce range. If you need to go higher, like some players do, then you'll need to find another bat aside from the Venom. See our best bat for 7 year old article.
  • 6 Year Old - Stay between 14 and 16 ounces. We'd recommend lighter over heavier. So, for example, the 26/14 or 25/14 ovr the 26/16 or 25/15.
  • 5 Year Old - When our players were 5 they used a 13 ounce bat. That was 25/13 which you can get in the Venom. We'd start there or real close to it.
  • 4 Year Old - We like the 24/12 for the 4 year old. That is the Venom's lightest size.

Construction

The Franklin Venom Tee Ball USA bat is a single piece alloy. In other words, its made from a single piece of aluminum. The grip is standard fare. Expect nothing remarkable about the Venom other than the fact it is remarkably basic.
