First WWBA tournament

Should hit with wood as much as possible... BP and games if possible.

Bring as many wood bats as you have... He may only use one bat the whole week... or break 3 in one game. Who knows.

There are always bat companies at the events so you'll be able to pick up as many as you want at the event.

I would DEFINITELY hit with wood as much as possible (only?) for as much as you can prior to these events, it also helps to get some games and live, on-field BP as well to help with confidence...

Most of these events (Perfect Game and Prospect Wire) allow a composite wood bat to be used. I would highly recommend them! Especially because most all of the MFG's offer a 90 day warranty on them (which is like the length of the summer showcase season). And if you buy from a booth during the event and it breaks, you just bring it back to the booth with the receipt and they'll usually just give you another bat.

We picked up a few Louisville Slugger 271 Bamboo Composite bats at the Louisville tent/booth at Perfect Game in Ft. Meyers, and they will also make deals for you as well...

Good luck!

As jazzmik pointed out, whether going to a WWBA or not your son should use a wood bat as often as possible. Always for BP and in games when possible.

We try to keep at least 3 wood bats on hand, but not an issue at a WWBA tournament. In fact, we came back with 7 when my son went to Jupiter last fall. There are some good buys!

Your son should be doing all BP with a wood bat regardless of PG. It's good for his hitting.

Rule of thumb: If he can hit with a wood bat, he'll KILL with a metal one!

Lot of truth to it.
