Sparro…great call. With superstition, tradition, and maybe just some general resistance to buying new equipment…I think a lot of us hold on to old equipment. And you’re right…older equipment wears down more than we’d like to admit. Combine that with the improving technology to reduce sting (and to increase bat speed) and there’s a big difference between our old favorites in the garage and the new stuff waiting for us at the stores.

I found that as a bat ages It tends to sting. So many people hold on to their favorite college or league bat because they “Hit that homer” 6 years ago and use it like a trophy. Same thing happened to me…..

Using wood bats gives a scout a true representation of a player’s talent and will reduce the number of bloop hits over short and second.

Too many kids grow not even having used a wood bat until reaching a wood bat league, if they make it that far. Using wood bats gives a hitter a better idea of how well they are actually making contact and what to do with any kind of bat(wood, aluminum, hybrid, etc.).

Only softball players should use aluminum bats. Everyone else should use wood.

They are fools if they don’t switch to wood. Using aluminum in this day and age makes zero sense.
