2022 Easton ADV Tee Ball Tee Ball Bat Review
A genuine composite tee ball bat built around the ADV barrel, the ADV Tee Ball gives the youngest hitters a forgiving, ultra-light swing that is a clear step up from the cheap one-piece alloy tee ballers most kids start with.
🎈 About tee ball bats
Tee ball is all about fun and first swings — honestly, there's no wrong choice here, so we don't put a score on it. At this level a bat just needs to be light, the right length, and (usually) USA-stamped. Grab a fun color, get the size right, and let them rip.
- Size first: most 4–7 year olds swing a 24–26" bat best — have them hold it out straight; if it droops, size down.
- Go light: a big drop (−11 to −13) keeps it easy and fast to swing.
- Check the stamp: most leagues want a USA Baseball (USABat) mark — this one has it.
- Don't overthink the price: they'll grow out of it in a season, so a fun, affordable bat is perfect.
Our Review
Most tee ball bats are throwaway one-piece alloy, so a true composite ADV-barrel tee baller stands out. The TB22ADV13 carries Easton's Launch Comp barrel down into a 2 5/8", -13 tee ball build that swings feather-light and gives a big, forgiving sweet spot to hitters who are still learning to find the ball. For a serious young player whose family is willing to invest early, the soft feel and forgiveness genuinely help with confidence and contact. The catch is value: this is a real premium bat for an age group that outgrows equipment fast, so casual rec families are better served by a cheaper alloy tee baller.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Light all-composite barrel is very forgiving for first-time hitters
- Ultra-light -13 swing is easy for 4-6 year-olds to control
- Soft feel reduces sting on the inevitable mishits at this age
Cons
- Premium price for a bat a child will quickly outgrow
- Composite is overkill for many casual rec tee ball players
