My son used wood in the cage this past off season. This was the first time he has used it. He really learned where the sweet spot is. About two weeks before the season started he switched back to his 1.15 . There is a Huge difference, as you guys know. MY question is should you stop practicing with wood when your season starts? Would it mess up his swing if he uses both (he also has a bbcor bat)?
He switched back to his 1.15? So this is not BBCOR, perhaps a -5? I think he may have some issues switching between wood (-3) and a metal -5 due to the difference in weight, but you can buy a wood -5 (Marucci) that would mitigate this issue. Otherwise I'm a big fan of wood in the batting cage.
No it's not BBCOR . He uses a -5 32/27 in games. He's 13 and that is what the tournaments use. I forgot to put in the OP there is a 2oz. difference . I guess I should get him another bat . He had no problem with the extra weight in the cage. But using them at the same time might be a problem with timing .
