I need help finding a proper wooden bat. My brother is playing for a 28 and over amateur baseball league, and he has broken about his 7th or 8th in not even as many weeks. I mean he has barely made it through a game without having to buy another bat.
Ok, the types we've bought so far and his swing. He has broken 3 Mizuno Maple's that cost about $70 at Dick's; 3 Rawling's Big Stick's-$25, and a couple other ash or maple bats alike.
Now, his swing. He swings with a lot of power, and not so much technique. and I dare say he's going to learn how better to swing and pick pitches before he breaks his, and my, wallet.
My question is--What type of DURABLE composite type bat should we get. I don't mind a little investment if it means no more trips to the sporting goods store, know what i mean. i saw Baum, and then i saw some that are a maple/bamboo mix, but who knows.
please help!
