Which are better? people were said flexibility and that ash bats flake on the barrel i don't really know that much or understand can others elaborate on the pros and cons of each?
If you're going to buy a wood bat, just spend more on the first one....or you'll end up buying 3. My son went thru wood bats like candy....then finally talked me into a Marucci Pro model....not cheap $120-ish....but it lasted ALOT longer than the $50-60 bats....untill he let a friend use it....then, as always happens, it broke on the first swing Man, am I glad those days are gone
My son's Marucci snapped in his first wood bat tourney. Bought the cheaps after that. Some lasted and some didn't but I wasn't upset when they snapped. Try bamboo. Harder than Maple.
Hard to find Hickory bats. Wasn't Hickory the most common wooden bat at one time?
Bamboo are super strong. Some leagues don't allow them though so I would make sure it's ok
