"wood is harder than medal."

Is a incorrect answer the metal is actually harder and that is the reason the MLB does not use metal bats because they propel the ball at a significantly faster speed.

The weight of the bat matters a little but nota lot. You want a light bat because you can swing it not a heavy bat then you cant swing it. Also what are you a contact hitter, power hitter, or more of a bunter? If you are a power hitter use an Exogrid or an Omaha. If you are a contact hitter than you would want to use a Stealth or Triton. If you are a bunter than you should get a good magazine or book then stay home on the couch.

This is a bulls**t answer! I want the physics. Same person swinging, obviously can swing a lighter bat faster, but more mass in a heavier bat. Come on nerds, I need empirical evidence.

Aluminum bats hit the ball farther. Every study that has been done on this issue has concluded that aluminum bats out perform wooden bats. The ball leaves the bat at a higher speed and travels farther.

In general, a heavier bat will hit a ball further than a lighter bat. It all depends on the speed of the bat. There is more torque in heavier bat swung at the same speed as a lighter one.

A heavy bat, but you have to be able to swing it fast by using your lower body.

How do you fit baseball bats?

base it off of how you like bats, if you are a contact hitter use a slightly lighter bat because if you dont need power why have a big heavy bat, if you are a power hitter use a slightly heavy bat but make sure you can swing it because no matter how good the bat is if it is too heavy you will never get a hit. pick a bat that you can swing all day. if you cant swing a lighter or heavier bat at pitches all day DONT get that bat. I made the mistake of using a bat that was too heavy for me for half my season, i was getting my fair share of hits but then i switched to a lighter bat and then i was alot better for the rest of the season instead of being 7th or 6th in the order now im 4th or 3rd. Some pitchers have intentional walked me because the bat i use is good for me, hope than helps. :)
