Reply to "Do Aluminum bats lose there "POP"?"

Personally I don't really believe that the bat companies are using "inferior" materials in their bats so you have to buy a new one each year. I think the technology of bat building today is so refined that they have their alloy mixes exactly where they want them to make sure the bats don't last "too" long, after all their main objective is... Sell more bats. Best way to do that, science. Determine the average bat life based on your alloy and shorten that life as much as the market will allow.

Technology today can build military armor lighter than aluminum but stronger than steel but can't make baseball bats that last for 3-4 years? I don't think so. It's all about profits, so yes the bats do wear out, by design, the amount of bats returned for warrantee are far outweighed by the gross sales/profits.

Is it that obvious that I am not an aluminum bat fan in the least? LOL!
