What is the best kind of Wooden Bat?
I've only used an ash bat in Batting Practice before but this year im in a wood bat league and i want to make sure i invest my money wisely on something that will most likely break eventually. I've been looking at the options that i can get at local sporting goods stores(since the season starts soon that's where i have to get it) and the options are:
Ash(from experience they break very easy but are 1/3 of the price)
Maple
Maple Composite(whats the difference from maple)
Bamboo
Which is the best kind to get?
Are there any other types that would be better?
Price, Pop and Durability should be taken into account.
From my own personel experience I've only swung maple and ash bats and I personally like Ash over maple and here's why:
Maple is a very hard, dense wood. The surface hardness is about 20% greater than ash. The harder the surface the faster the ball will jump off the bat. This is one of the reasons maple has become so popular; that and the fact that Barry Bonds swings maple. Maple is a closer grained hard wood than ash. The grain is not as easy to see as it is with ash. The straightness of the grain does not matter as it does with ash. Maple will not splinter. The grain will not separate. The hardness of maple makes a bat with less flex.
Ash on the other hand does flex. When a ball is hit with an ash bat there is a trampoline affect. The ball doesn't just jump off; it first compresses the wood, then like a spring board it leaves with much more force than maple. This spring board affect is one of ash's greatest strengths and weaknesses. The spring board and compression traits of an ash bat will in time cause the grains to separate over time. The flex of an ash bat will appear to have a larger sweet spot. Ash bats do not snap the way a maple bat does. Ash bats will break just as easy, but usually they just wear out. The grain of an ash bat will delaminate over many uses.
I found I got more pop with the ash but I hit for a higher average with the maple.
As for you question about the difference between maple and maple composite bats, the composite bats aren't made from one piece of maple, it's a combination of different maple trees it supposudley gives the bat more durability, but I've never used one so I'm not sure.
I've heard good things about Bamboo Bats to include better durability but again I've never used one so I'm not sure.
As for you're price it depends on the manufacturer of the bat I've seen all 4 of your choices ranging from 49.99 to upwards of $100.00 per bat, my best suggestion is see what you have available on your team and "test drive" them to see which one you like best.
