Folks that are do-it-yourselfers know the value of a hammer that fits in their hands just right. It seems to make the job go much easier and ends with a more successful outcome. If you like to cook, then you know the benefits of pots, pans and cooking utensils that you are comfortable with. Having the correct tools at one’s disposal seems to make projects less of a chore and more of a joyful experience.

The same thing can be said for sports and, in particular, youth baseball. Youth baseball is one of the healthiest of all participatory sports activities for kids because it teaches fair play, integrity, teamwork and sportsmanship. Successful handymen and cooks need good quality tools that they are comfortable with in order to have positive outcomes to their projects. In like manner, youth baseball players need equipment, either aluminium bats or wood baseball bats, with which they are comfortable in order to be successful at hitting a baseball.

Youth baseball bat reviews help parents, coaches and players alike select the baseball bat most appropriate for the players. There are marked differences that are documented in youth baseball bat reviews of aluminium bats and wood baseball bats on a youth baseball level.

Aluminium bats, such as the Easton, Worth and Mizuno model baseball bats, are lighter and have more strength to propel the ball when it strikes the bat. Baseball bat reviews note that, in youth baseball, aluminium bats can generate more power through the hitting zone. This is because the aluminium bats transfer power better and are lighter than the wood baseball bats, and the additional bat speed means that the ball is met with more force. Thus, the ball will travel further and faster upon contact with aluminium bats.

The big drawback with aluminium bats is that too much power may be generated with these bats. However, there have been only a very small number of related injuries, although any increase in injuries is naturally cause for concern for youth baseball parents. If players, especially pitchers, learn to field their positions, this point becomes moot.

Wood baseball bats are the old tried and true piece of baseball batting equipment for players. Youth baseball bat reviews acknowledge that these bats are susceptible to breakage, and can become very costly for parents and organizations. However, wood baseball bats are the only approved type of bat used in the Major Leagues, so proponents of wood baseball bats base their argument on this fact.

Aluminum baseball bats are more popular and more durable than their wooden counterparts, and are more expensive. As an example, Louisville Slugger Baseball bat types have diversity in pricing. Their wood baseball bats start at $20 and range up to $150, while their aluminium bats have a price range of $20 up to $350 per baseball bat.

Beauty remains in the eyes and hands of the baseball player, and youth baseball bat reviews continue to address these divergent opinions.
