Wood Bats

NotreDameMember

Can wood bats be used in Georgia High School ball?
I was told that wood bats cannot be used in NFHS
member schools, is this the case and why? If wood
bats are allowed do they also have to be no lighter
than a drop 3 like aluminum bats?

Thanks,

Alan

Certainly wooden bats may be used in HS. They are not subject to the -3 and BESR requirements because they are naturally -3 or less. The BESR rule is to make the exit speed off a metal bat the same as the wood bat. I don't have my HS book handy but it directly covers this.
Who is saying they can't use them? If it is an ump then he needs to giove you the reference. If it's a coach it/s probably his rule because they think they aren't as good as a metal bat.
