The lighter and heavier versions live at very different ends of the fastpitch swing-weight spectrum. In practical terms, the right player will notice the swing profile before anything else.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat You Feel in the Swing\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe -8 is for stronger, more advanced fastpitch hitters.
