Composite Wood Bats

2014_Lefty_Dad100+ posts

We plan to play in the 15U WWBA tournament this next summer. I have been looking at wood bats since this is the first time my son would be playing in a wood bat tournament of any importance. What is the deal with the composite wood bats? I see them, and it looks like they have a composite layer on the outside of the wood, but I was not sure what the tournament rules were about using them. Also what the performance is like with them compared to others. Just thought I would inquire.

thanks

southpaw_daw , my son has one that we bought for a wood bat league last fall. He has the DeMarini 243- the burgandy and black one.He never used it in the fall as the maple one felt lighter to him. I believe that they are legal for WWBA. They are a composite handle that runs inside of a wood barrel

My son has been using the Brett composite bat. He likes the maple bats a lot better. But over the long run, my wallet sure prefers the composite!

My son has also had the Brett Bros MB110 maple/bamboo composite for a year now. It is a great bat for the money.

Our HS uses Baum bats for BP and wood events with everyone seems to like them.

Baum bats are outstanding imo. They just rarely break and have some pop. We got a hold of a demo composite bat from the Diablo Bats company out of Arizona. Our players love it. It's been very durable and has great pop. Not sure it's on the market to the public yet.

I agree the Baum bats have proven themselves with our summer league team.

We have also had good luck with a maple bat that my son picked up from one of the vendors at the WWBA in Jupiter this Fall. Not sure if its pure luck or the quality of the bat but he hasn't managed to break it yet. (Probably a big mistake saying that, he has BP this evening). I will see if I can get the manufacturers name on that bat.

My son has used the same Demarini maple (blonde) for the last 2 years in both fall and summer seasons including batting cage work and it is still going strong. He likes swinging it more then metal bats.
