isn't that kind of like a fill in the blank statement...to be followed by "football" and then "basketball"?
No, they use real footballs and basketballs in the two sports you mentioned...when the college boys go to wood bats wake me up!
I'm afraid a player (or fan) will have to get their head taken off by a line-drive before the aluminum bats are banned by the NCAA.
I thought they had already banned them ... did they bring them back? Or am I just totally off-base
I agree. I'm not really into baseball at any level but last year I went to watch WVU play Oklahoma State mainly to see what the new place looked like. First class ball park but I never got used to that PING sound from the aluminum bats. Maybe I'm just old fashioned but there is nothing like hearing that crack when the bat hits the ball.
Years ago, aluminium bats were completely revamped. They perform far closer to wooden bats now than the former version of aluminum bats. They still give a little better exit velocity, are a little lighter, and have a bigger sweet spot, but it isn't the drastic difference like many think it is. That is why scores in college baseball are far lower than they used to be.
That must be what I was thinking of, that they made the aluminum bats to standards that more closely approximated wood bats.
