When choosing a wooden bat (weight question)?

Im looking into buying a wooden bat or 2. But every where i look they only give length measurements...how do i know how heavy it is? im looking to buy a 34", 29ounce bat...but nothing on any of the bat websites or sites like Dick's tells me anything about the weight...any thoughts?

Update:

When i say places like dick's...i meant online...forgot to specify

Update 2:

Did some more looking...is a 33/29 any easier to find? I guess idealy id like to have a few different sizes for different situation and/or if on a certain day a certain bat wasn't working for me

    I don't think you are going to find a 34 29. Usually woodys come in a -3 drop ratio. So if you're looking to buy a 34in bat, it will probably be 31oz.

    From personal experience use a 33in. The 34s are just waay too huge. Just go to the end of the bat if you get a 33. (Besides those are 30ounces so that's only 1 ounce off your desired weight)

    get either a 32/29 or 33/30 and shave it down one more so its 33/29

    its not that hard to shave off an ounce

    just pick up a bat and if it feels heavy, pick up a lighter one

    or the other way around

    pick up a bat and if it feels to light, pick up a heavier one
