so this touches on an issue that i’ve been wondering about ever since I first picked up one of these bats. it’s ridiculous how lightweight and “hot” they are. i immediately wondered to myself how they were legal and accepted. i’m not suggesting that they should be using wooden bats, although college probably should be.
seems like the technology and materials advancement has outpaced the game.
I may be talking out my ass here, but I think they actually have less pop than they used to. I think the old college bats that you heard the "ping" were hotter so they added the new version with required specs. I may have made that whole thing up though.
No, the hottest bats are composite and sound like a snapping branch when you hit with them. The alloy bats have generally less pop and still give that ping. Composite bats don’t have a long life and can’t be hit in cold weather because they will break. Also you don’t want to use them in the cage because you’re shortening that lifespan. Most kids will have an alloy metal bat and composite bat in their bat pack. Like there are Marucci bats in the same line (ie CatX) that are alloy, composite handle/alloy barrel, and two piece composite. Lil sd carries the second and third ones.
