Which bat Maple or ash?
This has been a major case in the Majors lately. Maple maps are more explosive and are more liable to break. Maple bats have a material called shrapnel, which cause them to shatter, sometimes dangerously floating in the air looking like javelins. Ash bats last longer, but sometimes give you splinters. Some say that Maple bats have a bigger impact on the ball when you make contact with it, but to be honest with you I think its the same. A-ROD uses ash bats and you do not see a decline in the distance of his hits. To be honest with you It depends on what kind of hitter you are and what bat you feel more comfortable with. I used ash bat in high school and I hit 518 my junior year. But seriously think you should try them out before buying.
