I'm just guessing here, as I am not very savvy in the world of sports. Logically I would think that the difference is due to the fact that wooden bats are solid and metal bats aren't. metal is hollow and wood is not I just hit the ball and run, I'm not really the scientific type so I will try to explain it the best I can. So think about it. Knocking on wood sounds different than knocking on metal so I guess it is because they are different materials? Maybe?

the wood bends more than the metal.

------------------------

At first, aluminum bats produced a faster traveling ball when the ball was hit sharply, but modern aluminum bats can be tuned to almost perfectly mimic the response off of a wooden bat.

Hi I am a girl and my brothers play all the time! So trust my answer:

Wooden: A wooden bat will not hit as far as a metal bat because of 2 reasons. One is that they brake very easy. The other reason is that wood has a weaker effect than metal.

Metal: A metal bat is most trusted everywhere. Metal is so strong. When something hits off metal, it will go very very far! Mostly my brothers use Nike or a Combat.

Hope this helps! Contact me any time on my email with any questions. Kiera303

It all depends on if the bat is bbcor certified compared to open rules on bat qualifications. bbcor bats are made with strict rules not allowing it to be technologically engineered to out perform wood bats. Although, metal is generally stronger than wood the new bbcor bats have decreased hr productions dramatically in college and hs Baseball.

wood bats are solid so they absorb the energy of the ball but metal bats compress and return the energy back to the ball.
