Maple Baseball
Wood baseball bats are available for all leagues and levels.
Some believe wood baseball bats embody the art or the poetry of
baseball. Precision crafted wood bats are replete with the
spine-tingling crack of a home run or the splintered remains of
wooden warrior that drilled its last base hit. Though aluminum
or alloy bats outnumber wood bats in the non-professional
leagues, many players feel a kinship with the natural wood and
when using them, feel like they're walking in the footsteps of
baseball greats like Babe Ruth or Derek Jeter.
When selecting a wood bat you should carefully hold the handle.
Ensure the shape and form work for your grip and batting style.
Also make sure the length/ weight ratio is appropriate for your
size. Wood bats are carved from mostly maple or ash woods. Wood
grains vary greatly in quality. Like furniture dealers, wood bat
manufacturers can select from a plethora of wood qualities. The
higher quality wood bats strive for hardness, strength, and
density without being too heavy. Many claim that maple bats
achieve this crucial balance.
Maple baseball bats are among the most popular choices, with ash
being its biggest competitor. Maple wood is endowed with a tight
grain that offers many of the qualities suited for smacking a
baseball. The finer the grade of maple, the more expensive the
bat, so remember to ask about the wood grain.
Factors to consider when purchasing a maple bat, like other
bats, are weight, length, and grip. Additionally, many players
take advantage of the swing-empowering benefits of owning a
maple baseball bat. Serious batters in the non-professional
leagues, or who have major league aspirations, will often
practice with a maple bat instead of an aluminum bat. The sweet
spot is more precise and wood bats are solid so they weigh more.
After practicing with a wood bat, come game time, your aluminum
bat swing will be much more dangerous
