The Benefits of The Original MetalWood Bat are:

 

Affordability – The Original Metal Wood Bat provides a net savings in comparison to the aggregate cost of the wood bats necessary to equal the durability of one Original Metal Wood Bat.

 

Playability – The Original Metal Wood Bat increases a hitter’s awareness of the hitting area and teaches him/her to make contact with the ball in front of the plate, producing a “major league swing”.  The bat delivers the same balance and feel as a wood bat with the thinner, lighter handle of an aluminum bat.  The Original Metal Wood Bat is the ideal transition bat for players making the change from aluminum to wood.

 

Durability – In comparison with wood, The Original Metal Wood Bat proves to be much more durable.  Independent lab testing showed the lifespan of The Original Metal Wood Bat to be at least fifteen (15) times that of wood bats currently in the marketplace.

 

Safety – The Original Metal Wood Bat is BESR certified, with an exit speed equal to that of an all wood bat.  Our bat is also safer than wood bats because the handle does not break when struck and the laminated bamboo is far more resistant to splintering and chipping.  These factors minimize the instance of broken bats interfering on the field of play, or the fear of broken bats leaving the area of play.

 

Advantages of Using the MetalWood Bat

The MetalWood Bat is designed to make hitting with wood more comfortable and more durable. The number one train of thought in hitting instruction today is that of using wood in all batting practice and drills to refine hitting skills. A wood barrel will develop what is called "bat head accuracy" because a player must learn to hit the ball in a smaller sweet spot area fully extended to get maximum performance. A wood barrel will also develop eye-hand coordination because a player must focus in on hitting the ball in the sweet spot consistently. With the head weight of a wood barrel a player will develop muscle memory and learn to throw the bat head through the strike zone and hit the ball in front of the plate instead of over the plate because there is no trampoline effect in the wood barrel.

Today, players are being told to use featherweight aluminum bats to get maximum bat speed. They are learning the wrong things like how to drag the hands through the strike zone so they can get the big sweet spot over the plate. At this point they hit the ball while it's over the plate and rely on the trampoline effect to launch the ball out into the playing field. Put a wood bat in their hands and hit it over the plate and you have failure. This is why the MetalWood makes the transition from aluminum to wood easier for players. They will still have the same grip and feel of the aluminum bat but will have the head weight of a wood barrel crushing the ball at impact. Lightweight aluminum bats have little head weight because they rely on the trampoline effect to hit the ball. The MetalWood has almost double the head weight which forces the player to throw the head of the bat through the strike zone and hit the ball in front of the plate and get maximum swing extension.

Simply put, the MetalWood Bat teaches the proper mechanics of hitting while giving the player more hand control in the swing. A player has more hand control in the swing because of the aluminum grip rather than the all-wood handle. The MetalWood Bat makes for the smoothest transition in the game from wood to aluminum. With the rubber shock absorbing sleeve at the joint, the chances of wood stingers running down a player's hands are slim to none. If a player is jammed on an inside pitch, the aluminum handle is much more durable than an all wood bat as far as breaking but performs like the wood handle because there is no trampoline by design. This feature gives a player more longevity with his wood bat. To become better, the good hitters today are using wood to maximize their hitting skills so why not use the best wood bat in the game—the MetalWood.

Since the MetalWood Bat can be reconditioned at any time, a player can use the same handle for years and just keep getting new barrels when needed. The standard in the game of baseball is that of being able to hit with a wood bat and maybe that is why so many young players are infiltrating into the major leagues from foreign countries where they grow up only using wood bats all the time. After all, if you are going to make it to the top you will be judged on how well you can swing a wood barrel and that is why the MetalWood Bat is the best bat in the game today for the young developing hitter.
