There are risks involved no matter the composition of the bat.
The topic of risk and injuries aside, I far prefer both the sound and feel of wooden bats. In fact I’m still using actual wooden (persimmon) woods on the golf course for the same reason. Just makes playing both games more enjoyable for me.

I wonder whether it would be possible to make a composite bat that would handle (and maybe even sound) like a wood bat, but be less prone to breakage.
