Composite bats are better because the way they hit the ball moves it farther. It is also usually lighter then the aluminum, so it's easier to swing.
The composite bats have a trampoline like affect that give the ball more distance. Aluminum is more stiff and has less of a trampoline affect than a composite bat would.
Aluminum composite bats generally provide better performance, including increased distance, compared to half-and-half bats, which typically combine materials like aluminum and wood. The design and construction of aluminum composite bats allow for a larger sweet spot and less energy loss upon contact, resulting in greater ball exit velocity. However, the specific performance can also depend on factors like the player's swing, pitch speed, and ball type. Ultimately, for maximizing distance, aluminum composite bats are often favored.
There are a lot bats that have some composite or all composite. If you are looking for a good bat to buy that is composite, I would recommend a combat, they are 100% composite, so they have a really good pop, and they have a very long barrel which means the sweet spot is a lot bigger.
I just got that same bat (for $25 I can't believe it) and I'm pretty sure that it is half composite and half aluminum but I can't be sure. It makes a funny noise when you hit something with it and its not pure composite or pure aluminum so I think its a mix.
Composite bats more dull sounds when hit (close to a wood bat) while aluminum makes a "loud ping" once contact is made
Yes you can! Especially since it's aluminum... I recommend a composite bat though. Composite bats have way more pop than aluminum bats. I would recommend the cf3 or cf4 for a new bat. Or try the stealth!
Not as dangerous as the newer composite bats.
Composite bats typically hit a softball farther than aluminum or wooden bats due to their lightweight construction and larger sweet spot, which allows for greater energy transfer upon contact. Composite materials also provide better performance when properly broken in, maximizing distance. However, personal preference, playing style, and league regulations can influence the choice of bat. Ultimately, while composite bats often achieve the farthest hits, the best bat for individual players may vary.
It depends on the type and quality of bat, some are made of aluminum, others composite. The higher end bats are usually a type of composite alloy mix.
Demarini is a brand of bats and CF5 is one of there newest composite bats.
