Sometimes the bat being used helps the player psychologically more than physically. If the father has that kind of money to pay than more power to em. You still have to put the bat on the ball. If a major league player will do steroids do you really think they don't enhance their equipment in some way or another. Over the years players have been accused of using illegal bats and some have been caught hollowing out wood bats and inserting objects to lighten bats. Do you really think that some HS players or their fathers don't send their kids bats out to be rolled or shaved to create an advantage for their kid. I know of at least 3 HS parents that have had bats that minus 3's shaved down so they are only -8 so that their son's can swing the bats. This is more of a problem than the equipment being sold off the rack nowadays.

It wont change till parents put their kids [and other kids] health ahead of ego's...besides the oodles of sponsor money that companies pay to utilize their equipment. And what I'm seeing out there its not going to change for awhile. Show your kid the bat Babe Ruth used-probably 50 oz monster at Cooperstown-their was no shaving on that stick.

Is the 1st made and bought $1000 bat that far away. Regarding comments above, since when is deceitful actions the standard to follow? Bonds is hiding in a hole somewhere and McGuire ruined his image forever, and looks pathetic in trying to resurrect an extended career in baseball. Sosa and Palmiero know better than to show their faces in public. Long live the spirits of Ruth, Aaron, Williams, DiMaggio, although some have accused The Babe of using PED's - the nitrates from all the hot dogs he ate.

These new bats are dangerous plain and simple nothing will change until more kids get hurt. Bring back wood safety of our kids come first.

Manufacturers are looking out for themselves, not our kids. I wonder what the profit margins are for each bat.

Agreed,

I cringe when my son who plays 3rd base faces a top 12u player at 60 feet using a composite bat. I can't believe how hot those balls come off the bat at 11u. One kid at our practice this week hit it out to right field with what looked like a half swing using an Eastom Omen.
