alumiun bats are better because they are hollow and because they have a bigger sweet spot than wood

another reason is that they bend then use the momentum to "smack" that bal out of there

the power in and alumiun bat is about 15% more then that of a wooden bat... but i personal like the swing of a wooden bat the weight seems to be more towards the end of the bat and swings it self

also, the aluminum bats gets weaker each time it hits the ball and the wood gets stronger.

An aluminum bat may or may not hit a Baseball further, depending on who

swings the bat.

Both bats have advantages. First, let us compare the qualities of the two

designs. The only real difference is weight. The aluminum bat is much

lighter than the wooden bat.

Because the aluminum bat is lighter, the batter has more control. It is

easier to make "last-minute adjustments" to his swing. Once a wooden bat is

swinging, adjustments are difficult. Also, less time is needed to get the

aluminum bat moving. The batter can wait just a little bit longer before

deciding how to swing with an aluminum bat.

Because the wooden bat is heavier, it has less "recoil": A wooden bat

moving at the same speed as an aluminum bat will hit harder. A batter who

can get a wooden bat moving fast will hit the ball further, provided he

makes contact at all. Also, a wooden bat doesn't vibrate as much. This is

better for the batter's hands.

Overall, the wooden bat has more potential power, but the aluminum bat is

easier to use. A very experienced player that can tell how the ball is

pitched just as it leaves the pitcher's hand will do better with a wooden

bat. The player that likes a little extra time to decide how to hit, as

well as a little opportunity for slight adjustment, will do better with an

aluminum bat. In the end, it is a matter of personal preference.

You can hit a baseball better with an aluminum bat because it has more pop than a wood bat has. Also aluminum bats are lighter than wood bats. This is why coaches recommend aluminum bats over wood bats.

Aluminum bats are stronger, more durable and ball reacts faster off the bat than that of wood. Simply put, metal is stronger natural material than wood. Wood bats, however, are the only bats used in professional baseball and also in most college summer leagues. Wood bats are more of a financial burden on leagues and teams because they don't last as long. See great link below on how wood bats are made.

Wooden BatSupposedly, the wooden bat due to the weight of the ash wood used to make bat as opposed to the aluminum.

What type of bat will a baseball come off of better plastic aluminum or wooden bats?

baseballs come off an aluminum bat faster and harder, than they do on a wooden bat. that is why in the MLB they make the players use wooden bats, to prevent serious injury. i myself perfer to use and practice with a wooden bat in the off season, because it teaches you to use the right mechanics to hit the ball harder and farther. but during games i use an aluminum ball bat, and during practice i use a wooden bat. i would restrain from using a carbon-fiber bat because they have a tendency to crack and break. but that is just my opinion on carbon fiber bats.
