My son had a Brett Bros bamboo for the cage, and a Bamboobat before that. Both looked, felt and sounded great. (the finish on the Bamboobat is like fine piece of furniture) Both lasted a long time. But I wouldn't recommend either for games. From what I've seen and felt I don't think they have the same pop as good, solid wood bat.
I've never heard of a difference in performance between wood and bamboo. I'll have to check that out for myself. I don't recall my son ever noticing a change in the pop.
