Adding a lead core could solve that "problem".
They’re all INSANE!!!!
I remember the screaming and yelling when wooden bats were replaced by metal bats,,,,, BECAUSE: wooden bats broke, and half the bat would fly down the field or baseline or hit a fan or, or, blah blah blah
Now metal bats are no good because they hit too hard? Well, the reason metal bats always sucked was because they didn’t hit hard enough.
IOW: Hey morons, use your liberal riddled skull stuffers and chose a bat, because baseball ain’t going away!
The reason these bats are so popular is because you can get a much lighter bat by using metal, if not for this advantage people probably wouldn't buy them, the wooden bats are much cheaper.
As far as breaking no they don't (Like wood) but they do dent which makes then just as useless at that point.
Come out and plaaaaaay.
I don’t think metal bats should be allowed by RULES (as opposed to law) anywhere. Metal bats make the most unnatural sound known to man. I know in my heart that its the very same sound heard 24/7 in hell.
They must not have ever played a game of baseball, or had a child play. Unbelievable!
Baseball bats should be made of wood. Period. The End.
I could care less about the safety aspects of either, but it ain’t baseball if you’re using an aluminum bat.
