The Composite Bats Blog

Well, it is clear the controversy about Composite Bat is not going away. I found this new article by Jon Solomon at the Birmingham News titled Fair or foul? Are players tampering with composite bats? where the author comments a little bit about Composite Bats and mentions that the problem is rolling the bats. So, it seems [...]

I was reading this article today, where a physics professor talks about Composite Bats. I am happy I am learning this much about the topic (I confess, I’m not an expert). Here is the link to the article: Physics Professor Addresses Aluminum v. Composite Bat Controversy Meanwhile, I will continue enjoying my nice bat, once [...]

I just discovered there are Bat Rolling Machines!!! So, it is not enough to buy a good bat, now I also should buy the rolling machine so I can save money. What do you think about this?

They have an interview with the president of the company, and because I follow the development of the latest technology of bats, I thought it would be of interest of this blog to share it. Also, I want to make [...]

I had posted in a short way what advantages the Composite Bats had. As promised. I want to add more details about it. The closer the bat’s balance point is to the handle, the easier it is to swing. Composite bats make it easier to shift mass around from barrel end to handle to control [...]

This is a common question, given the high cost difference between Composite Bats and the ol’ aluminum ones. Basically, these are the major points: Better control of the swing Manufacturers’ control of the stiffness More forgiving sweet spots Temperature warning (do not use them below 50 degrees) Cool sound (like a wooden bat) More details [...]

The intention of this post is to start answering that question… What is a Composite Bat? If you are in your late 20′s or “better”, you probably still have in your mind the ol’ wood bat, or the newer aluminum bats. Well, the 21st century has catch up with baseball, and the new developments are [...]

  Welcome. Let me tell you how Composite Bats entered in my life… We were the better team. There is no doubt about it. We were a better team. But they beat us. Big time. It took us some time to figure out what happened, but we found the reason after the last inning of [...]
