Typically a lite weight aluminum bat will hit a ball further than a wood bat.
I'd say a metal bat because wood would absorb more energy than metal.
I think the composite bat hit the farthest.
Aluminum....thats not that hard it is metal so it goes further where wood absorbs the force.
aluminum because it absorbs the ball and wood bends with the ball.This is kinda funny because we just did an expirent in sciene on this. we got the aluminum because some wood bats have week spots
its soooooo metal. it vibrates if its fast piched because it is flexible, the wood will braek because it is not. & it is also hollow and as the ball hits it the ball makes it vibrate.

Wooden
No,the metal bat hits the ball harder that is why in the mlb they arent allowed to use them they use wood -------Im pretty sure its composite.
AnswerAluminum definitely. Compared to wood, metal is able to more easily compress then regain it's shape. This trampoline effect is what causes the ball to come off the bat more quickly.
Mainly wood for the lane, rubber or wood for the gutter, plastic or metal for the ball return.
