Re: Re: Hitdog & wooden bats - con't

No, I never played for the AAU hitdogs, but I am a member at the hitdog training center in Stoughton.
> There's no question about it - the NCAA needs to start using wood bats. I don't know about you, but I'm not a big fan of 20-18 ballgames! When you combine a D1 college player, rotational mechanics and metal bats, it is indeed, quite deadly.
> Still, wooden bats are too expensive for high school play. If the NCAA were to switch, the school would probably provide its players with bats. In high school, each player has to buy their own bat. That's a little too expensive for me (but I'm sure Mr. Mizuno doesn't mind!)
> I understand that metal bats are more dangerous for obvious reasons. But c'mon! I don't exactly feel like we're saving lives here. The ball hasn't changed, the field hasn't changed, and it's not like the fielders have on helmets. The risks are high no matter what.
> Besides, I'm a hitter and this is a hitter's site so lets get rid of the freaking wood!
