Composite Baseball Bat

Which is the better baseball bat ? A composite material or an Aluminum material ?

I am buying my sons baseball bat for high school and being that they are $400 I would like to try to get it right the 1st time. In little league and travel we have tried easton stealth, anderson, exogrid the anderson and exogrid seems to be the best but im undecided for the
-3 drop bat for school

Here's an article on composites vs aluminum.

Composites get better "pop." Once broken in they are loads better than aluminum. Personally I like the sound of Aluminum when I play slow pitch, but the difference in this worth Mayhem Composite I just bought (not even broken in) is amazing.

The composite when the material breaks down (like a graphite/fiber glass) acts like a trampoline to the baseball/softball.

You can go with a lighter bat than usual and get power from the bat speed as well as the composite material.

Sorry I don't have the specifics for baseball bats (when I played it was all aluminum), but that should give you an idea especially since it's the same tech as slo-pitch softball..

Hope that helps.

Youth Baseball Bats: Size Matters!

Choosing the right youth baseball bats size for a little league baseball player is quite a headache. It may seem so simple, but the real dilemma of finding the perfect bat really requires your meticulousness. To help you out in this chaos, this article will give you a brief overview on what to look for in youth baseball bats. The player's height and weight matters in picking the right one. However, this is not always applicable since a little leaguer ages and grows fast. Their bodies and strength don't always match their age. So, you need to put into consideration these factors when choosing the correct youth baseball bats.

Some tips for choosing the right youth baseball bats

Here are some tips that will help you in making the right decision on picking youth bats. First thing you need to keep in mind, which is the easiest, is to have the little league player swing several different bats. By doing so, you can instantly eliminate youth baseball bats that are not appropriate, like bats that are too long or too heavy for them to handle. Little league players are often drawn by the idea that bigger is better. They do not know that this is far from the truth. Once you have determined that the player is taking level swings, you can proceed to the next level of assessment and that is to gauge the child's strength.

Generally, it is recommended to use the lightest youth baseball bats as they allow for the best control and swing power. But the problem is that, this does not apply to every child. Most little league players prefer aluminum or composite youth baseball bats because of their lighter weight. However, because they are too light, players sometimes loose control swinging them, thus resulting to over swinging the bat. This means that the player exceeds through the zone and loses bat control. Once players fail to control the bat, they may begin to develop an uppercut swing meaning that they start to swing up at the ball. In this case, it is wise that you pick youth baseball bats with some length and that are slightly heavier.

Youth Baseball Bats: Additional Tips

Additionally, if the swings mechanics are level but the player is constantly topping the ball, it is recommended to keep the same length bat and choose youth baseball bats that are an ounce or two lighter. Generally, little league bats length follows the ratio of 1:2.15. This means that for every 2.15 inches of the player's height, there should be one inch of bat length. For example, a 5 foot player should approximately hold a bat that is 28". With this in mind, choosing the appropriate bat can be easier.

Aside from the player's height, which is used to identify what youth baseball bats are accurate to use, the weight of the bat also really matters. Weight is an important aspect that you can easily determine. By simply allowing the player to swing, you can evaluate if the bat is best for use. Another thing that should be considered when choosing little league bats is the child's rapid growth. At this stage of child development, the youngster's body is growing quicker hence they can handle slightly shorter youth baseball bats while still getting maximum plate coverage.
