Which is the better baseball bat ? A composite material or an Aluminum material ?

October 31st, 2009 | by admin |

I am buying my sons baseball bat for high school and being that they are $400 I would like to try to get it right the 1st time. In little league and travel we have tried easton stealth, anderson, exogrid the anderson and exogrid seems to be the best but im undecided for the
-3 drop bat for school

Here’s an article on composites vs aluminum.

Composites get better "pop." Once broken in they are loads better than aluminum. Personally I like the sound of Aluminum when I play slow pitch, but the difference in this worth Mayhem Composite I just bought (not even broken in) is amazing.

The composite when the material breaks down (like a graphite/fiber glass) acts like a trampoline to the baseball/softball.

You can go with a lighter bat than usual and get power from the bat speed as well as the composite material.

Sorry I don’t have the specifics for baseball bats (when I played it was all aluminum), but that should give you an idea especially since it’s the same tech as slo-pitch softball..

Hope that helps.

    Ive used composite and aluminum and i feel like you get way more pop with a composite and it is a little sturdier and i think is supposed to last longer.

    Composite all the way

    I love the DeMarini Voodoo Its a great bat and the 32 swings really well. Also its very sharp looking and really sends the ball a ways.

    i use a stealth and it it great.. exos are also very good bats, many of my team mates use de marinea (spelling =[ ) and they love it some use 1 piece some use 2 its all in what you like to use.. a great way to see which bat you like is to close your eyes and have someone hand you a bat… you take 2 or 3 dry swings then change bats just don’t look at which bat you are using. which ever feels best it the one you should use… hope this helps

    Composite is more expensive and heavier, so it will go further. It also holds up very well so it should last you all 4 years. But aluminum is lighter so you will get better bat speed. Although since you’re at a -3 the weight is all the same so I’d go with the composite.

    i personally like the aluminum bat better. The composite bats sound terrible to me. I like to hear the "ping" when i hit. But really there’s not that much of a difference in efficiency

    Easton Stealth Composite is an excellent bat.
