The serious baseball player is going to want a wood bat, especially for practice. Why is that? Wood is less forgiving than composite and metal and you have a better sense of when you hit the ball well. That’s why many hitting instructors recommend practicing with wood and using composite or metal in games.
My son loves his wood bat so much that he uses it for games as well. He’s not a power hitter anyway so losing some distance by using his wood is not that big a deal to him. So what does he use?
It’s the Marucci CU26 Maple Baseball Bat. It’s a well-balanced bat and hard. Over several years, he hasn’t broken a single one. They’ve been replaced because he lost one and he’s dented several. You have to be careful with them. He will sometimes accidentally hit a pipe in the batting cage or won’t be careful at the bat rack, etc. Now, he uses the older ones for batting practice only and newer ones for games only.
