No. They are scared that the bat might break and hurt someone.
If it for use in little league, it is illegal to roll the bat. The player will be disqualified if they are caught. Try Batrolling4u.com... I've had great luck with them
No. Not in competition, so it has no use at practice.
yea
Wood is too costly...it could break on the first swing. Also, many believe the game moves too slow with a wood bat in the hands of a youth player.
Wood or Aluminum is the choice of the player (or his parents). Little League rules state that the bats must "be made of wood or of a material and color tested and approved acceptable to Little League standards." [Rule 1.10] But wooden bats just aren't cool enough for today's kids (or their parents). If little Johnny's Dad spends $200 on the hotest, newest bat out there, then every other kid on the team wants the same bat. A $25 wooden bat just isn't going to cut it. is it? I've read a lot of local league Ground Rules, and I've never seen one that either disallows wooden bats or specifically allows only one or the other.
As of March 14th, 2011 this bat is now approved for use in Little League. http://www.littleleague.org/learn/equipment/approvedcompbatssmall.htm
I did, but only because we didn't have the size I preferred! Metal bats are Superior to wood, and today few would what to use a wood bat, except MAYBE!! when bunting! IN FACT! IT's more likely, that metal bats would be band, for the safety of pitchers
Yes, but why use it, it isn't better than aluminum
The barrel of the bat may be no bigger than 2 1/4 diameter usually. It most likely will say "Little league approved" on the barrel
CAL RIPKEN BASEBALL DIVISIONThe bat may not exceed 33"in length, and the bat barrel may not exceed 2 ¼" in diameter. Only 2 ¼" barrel non-wood bats marked BPF 1.15 will be allowed. Wood 2 ¼" barrel bats are allowed.
The pitchers bat in the world series when it's played in a national league park, they use a DH in an American league park.
