That would depend on the length of the bat. The '-2' is known as the 'bat drop' or 'drop weight' and means that the weight of the bat, in ounces, is 2 less than the length of the bat in inches. To find the weight of the bat you must first measure the bat to find its length. If the length of the bat is 30 inches, the weight of the bat is 28 ounces. If the length of the bat is 28 inches, the weight of the bat is 26 ounces.

Most likely 34 ounces. Usually the number refers to the weight, however, it may designate the length of the bat itself. If it is the length you need to find the minus number, as this is how many ounces lighter the bat is compared to its length in inches. For expamle, a -10 bat with a length of 30 inches would weigh 20 ounces. Most bats have either a minus number or a zero (weight equals length), or two numbers (check the bottom of the knob) with the larger number being length and smaller number being weight.

The -12 is the 'drop' of the bat and means the number of ounces the bat weighs is 12 less than the number of inches the bat is in length. If you have a 32 inch bat, a -12 drop means the bat weighs 20 ounces. If you have a 30 inch bat, a -12 drop means the bat weighs 18 ounces. If you know the length of the bat in inches and the drop, you can figure out how many ounces the bat weighs.

Yes you can break it in wrong. Some batters will find the same place to look at on the bat when they're getting ready to hit. Doing this causes you to hit the ball on the same side of the bat over and over. The correct way to break in the bat and for the life of the bat is to rotate the bat 1/4 turn every time you step in the box. This will help distribute the number of times the bat strikes the ball.
If the bat reads number 7 on the knob it is an inch mark which would indicate the bat being a 27 inch bat.Inch Mark is a term used with baseball bats referring to the number stamped into the knob of the bat indicating the length on store model bats.

The -11 is the 'drop' of the bat and means that the number, in ounces, of the weight is 11 less than the number, in inches, of the length of the bat. If the bat is 30 inches in length, the -11 signifies the weight of the bat is 19 ounces. If the bat is 32 inches in length, the -11 signifies the weight of the bat is 21 ounces.
