Composite Bat

I can give opinion based on SON'S experience. My son plays in a wood bat fall league and many wood bat tournaments throughout the year, also takes BP with wood bats. He likes trying out different bats and has MANY. He was very excited about the composite bats and BEGGED to get one. (I believe he might even have two)Initially he thought it was great, but when the next season came around he was picking out non composite wood bats again. I asked why and he said he liked the feel better and whether it's true or or not he felt that the bat lost some "pop" after a while. and like I said earlier, whether true or not, once something's in a ballplayer's head.....

So, his opinion is- no more composite. But keep in mind he hasn't had ALOT of broken bats and unfortunately isn't TERRIBLY concerned with cost since mom pays for them ha ha ha

I use a composite bat for batting practice as well. In the long run paying $80- $95 for a bat that will last you about 6 months is cheaper than buying 6-12 other woodies in that same time frame.

Hands Down...The Baum Bat is the gold standard composite bat. It will cost a little more, but well worth the cost in my opinion.

Anyone try the new Brett bat with the bamboo core? 120 day warranty for a wood bat seems like a bunch would at least try it.

My son has a Demarini composite bat - it has a maple barrel and composite handle. It was used when it received it (I think it had been used by a college team). He used it during last fall's games, plus the entire past year in batting practice. It is practically indestructable, with good feel with the maple barrel and pretty good pop. It is pricey - around $100.
