Wood Bat vs. Alloy Bat

Francis710,000+ posts

Both bats are 33"

Louisville Solo BBCOR one piece alloy.

Wood bat is 271 - actually the Victus model but it's the same as the Louisville Slugger C271.

Both are 30 ounces. But, obviously there is swing weight as a factor.

Batter usually barrels with the Solo and is on time. But, seems to be early with the wood bat.

Is the swing weight that much lighter with the wood bat that would cause being early? Note this is maple and not ash.

Or, is the swing weight on the wood heavier and making the batter over compensate and rush?
