Cheap Wood Bats
Today playing baseball no longer means you will experience the wonderful “crack of the bat” sound that brings back countless memories. Below is an overview of the different baseball bat materials available today:
White Ash
The majority of wood baseball bats today are made from northern white ash harvested from Pennsylvania or New York. White ash is used because of it’s hardness, durability, strength, weight and “feel”. Trees that provide the lumber for baseball bats are often 50 years old, and of all the lumber harvested – the top 10% is saved for pro bats.
Maple
maple baseball bats have recently become popular largely as a result of Barry Bond’s amazing 73 home runs hit using maple bats in 2001. For years, maple was too heavy to make an effective bat. Recent technology in drying wood has created bats with lower moisture content, which are light enough to make effective baseball bats. Rock or Sugar Maple bats are preferred. Maple bats cost more than white ash, but they often last longer as a result of their high strength.
Hickory
In the early days of baseball, hickory bats were very common in the game of baseball. Hickory is an extremely hard and strong piece of wood, although with the strength comes a lot of weight. Hickory baseball bats simply weigh too much for many ball players – in fact, Babe Ruth used 47 ounce hickory bats in his day!
Bamboo
Several companies have recently introduced bamboo baseball bats. Since bamboo chutes are hollow, unlike a standard tree that a wood bat is made of, bamboo bats are made by pressing bamboo “strips” into billets, and then turning these billets into bats. Bamboo is an extremely strong wood, with a tensile strength greater than that of steel.
