Little League Bans Composite Bats

This doesn't apply to softball.

I always wonder why an organization makes a bat standard for baseball and not softball, though.

Little League sent out an announcement that they were considering this last year. The league my kids play for sent out a email saying don't buy a composite bat until a ruling is made.

Edit: by last year I mean the season that just passed

Regardless, anyone who pays $300 for a 12-year-old's bat is an idiot.

Really? Idiots? What do you suggest? Wood bats? Is that what you buy your kid(s)? Not saying I disagree with outragously expensive equipment for kids, but where do you draw the line between reasonable people and idiots? Just curious.

Glad to know you think I'm an idiot.

Most I've paid for a NIW bat is $265, so I'd say somewhere between $265.01 and $299.99?

With over 40 baseball games a summer ,i wont buy cheap and i do my homework to make sure my investment is worth it. I guess i will have to go out and get a Anderson,Techzilla. All metal ,but its still $250-300. Worth the money though,they are tanks.

Another idiot here. In fact, my kid got a CF4 for xmas. Bummer, I wasn't aware they were considering it, or I would have waited. He doesn't really need the bat now anyway.
