Coaching for years, wood bats came out of the bags every so often. Most kids have one. They are fun and cheap. The kids that could hit, hit well with wood. The kids that couldn't hit couldn't hit with wood. I never once "exposed" a kids hitting flaws because he was swinging wood. The flaws were already there. I have not seen wood fix swing flaws.

. . . neither have I, if were just talking about swing mechanics. But I have seen it make a difference in player's approach at the plate.
