Softball Bats

What are made of softball?

Softball bats were at one time made chiefly of wood, but advances in technology have introduced materials such as aluminum, graphite and composite materials. Each material has its positive and unique.

Wood bats: softball wood are rare but gradually recover for softball enthusiasts who prefer to hear a bang and not a ping when the bat meets ball. A Softball Bat the bottle-shaped timber and can weigh between 32-35 ounces (about 8 ounces heavier than an aluminum bat). Traditionally, wood bats have been made from ash. However, the ash is light and soft and ash bats tend to flake and rapid tooth. Maple, oak and bamboo is also used for these bats. Maple is harder and its grain is denser in the ash, making it less susceptible to fragmentation and friction. Bamboo Bats the Chinese equivalent closest to the wood bat an aluminum bat. Bamboo is extremely light and has a higher resistance than steel.

Aluminum: The increased research and engineering in the science of bat making has resulted in high-tech aluminum softball that can cost from $ 300 upwards. aluminum bats are more light, thus generating more hitters bat speed and control. They are stronger and more durable than wooden bats do not break, but can Nick or crack over time. Aluminum bats are available in different alloy combinations of weight. aluminum alloys are thinner are more resilient and offer a larger hitting area or "sweet spot." Aluminum bats are manufactured in a single layer and combinations of double layer, dual layer bats are used by power hitters.

Graphite / Titanium doubled aluminum bats are coated graphite or titanium. These materials are lightweight, durable and solid are added to aluminum bats thin wall to the bat lighter. Bats light hitters can generate more power in your swing. The aligned Bats with graphite or titanium have a greater surface area, hitting, or "sweet spot." These materials are anti-shock and thus help reduce the impact felt when a stroke wrong time.

Composite materials: Bats made of composite materials such as carbon, glass or Kevlar are light, rigid and robust. Composite materials allow manufacturers to integrate various fighting forces and stiffness in different parts of a bat. The result is a bat with stiff bat handles, for greater control, low stiffness affecting the parties to improve performance and reduced shock and swing weight differential. Composite bats have a large dent with more pronounced "sweet spot." However, the extreme speeds at which the ball bounces off the stick can be a hazard to the pitcher is to react in a very limited time.
