We will see the true bat manufacturers begin to put quality BBCOR product in the marketplace, and give our kids a great bat to swing. Easton, LS, Demarini.
Lastly, a bat is a personal preference for a player. They have to feel confident and comfortable in what they are swinging. When a college kid is forced to swing a particular bat, things can get tough.

Good post lefty.
Coaches DO NOT necessarily have to use one specific manufacturer for anything, but some do because THEY (the coaches) get paid to do so. So I don't think the entire blame should be on Nike, but rather also those who took money for their own gain.
Is it true that the new bats have been found to be altered in CA (HS) and that there will be penalties if umpires find bats that have been, the penalty will lie on the coach, not the player?
