the name speaks for itself

Eh...I only have a wood. But I guess aluminum wouldn't break as easily....

i've heard of filling aluminum, but lets not speak of that again. it was done to hell

I like the alluminium bats, but you can put nails into a wooden one, just a short spike sticking out enough to puncture a bit but not get stuck.
Put some metal bands around it to hold it together.

one of my buddies did something like that, but i'm pretty sure he used a railroad spike then sharpened it.

He meant the heart medicine patches.

Aluminum all the way. Aluminum bats eventually do split or crack, but after 100x as much abuse as a wooden bat. I've personally broken no fewer than three wooden bats just playing baseball, but have only damaged one aluminum bat, and while it didn't function as well for baseball afterward (if they have a plastic cap on the end it's basically just a funny shaped pipe, and it doesn't regain its shape and transfer power to the ball as well without the cap) it would certainly have bashed in some skull if the need arose.

Wood - I like to keep it real.

If I had to buy one now, wood for sure. Pick of an abandoned sporting goods store? I'd have to think about it...

by **tupac4rhymes** » Thu Jun 30, 2005 11:02 am

well, if you were at an abandoned sprts store, you could pick out both-or all.

by **ghostface** » Thu Jun 30, 2005 1:31 pm

I wouldn't want to carry two bats, a hatchet, a machete, and a shotgun.

by **tupac4rhymes** » Thu Jun 30, 2005 5:49 pm

why a hatchet and machette?
why not just a really good machette?

by **los_hooligan** » Thu Jun 30, 2005 10:34 pm

wooden bat.

by **DoubleTap** » Sat Jul 09, 2005 1:26 pm

I like the feel of a wooden bat better, but I'd be afraid that the wood would be too porous and would eventually pick up contaminents with heavy use.

by **LD!** » Sat Jul 09, 2005 1:45 pm

Soke it in some sort of finish or soemthing for a week thats should fill up the holes

by **TheLastRifleMan** » Sat Jul 09, 2005 2:56 pm

Wood, no question.

Good American ash Louisville Slugger. Easy to find, easy to use.

by **Oracle** » Sat Jul 09, 2005 6:04 pm

I've had an all-aluminum (except for the slip-on rubber grips) Louisville Slugger baseball bat for over 20 years. It's been beat to hell and back and is still just as rugged and useful as it ever was. I seriously doubt a wooden bat would have been able to take that kind of abuse.

For a weapon, though, I'd prefer the shorter, fatter bat, like the youth bats better. I think they function better as a club than the longer possibly thinner adult-size bats.

Full-Aluminum Bats are good cause they have more destructive power thana regular wooden one. But with a Wooden bat you place a Nail in it as Moonrabbit already said. My vote is undecided. I guess i'd have to go with the wooden one I own now.

"WOOD IS GOOD"

by **stefan2004** » Mon Jul 18, 2005 9:08 am

no really bothered which one you should get, they are both probabily as good as each other and you'll most probabily wont feel much different regardless of which one you use.

People only choose aluminium in my opinion as it is a metal and is light. the only problem being soft.

nothing like the sound of a wooden bat crackin a zombie skull!

Definately aluminum. Nostalgia for baseball and such be damned, an aluminum bat is the more durable choice. I've broken a couple of wooden bats using nothing more durable than a baseball. After a few raps on a few zombie skulls, the potential for a broken wooden bat is just too great.

bats. wooden or aluminum.

what one is better?
