Anyone know anything about them? I need to get a baseball bat like thing for playing a version of baseball / softball / rounders with something like a tennis ball. Don't want to get cheap rubbish but don't want to spend a fortune. Don't even know if wood or aluminium's the way forwards. Or Ti?

Borrow a cricket bat off of any of the England team as they obviously haven't a clue how to use them

Can't say I know much about baseball bats but this one looks good for the money.

Er, why?

To save cost, what about finding a nice thick stick in the hedge bottom?

I'd stick with wood (it feels nicer) but apart from that, TBH Kate, I would have thought any old would do.

Have you had a word with the PE dept or the uni leisure centre - last time I needed one I nipped in and was given a slightly battered version from a choice of 10.

Kate, get the cheapest. From the sounds of it, I very much doubt if anyone in this planned game will know any different.

Well, I'm coming to Black Sail on the weekend....

Thanks, guys. Rocky, you're probably right, but I don't want it to break when it's swung by a lusty bloke and chucked around.

It's a good job I didn't post my original thought.  Which was

'Get wood'... <fnarr>

Nails stay in wood better. FACT.

Plus you can always burn wood to get rid of blood stain evidence K8.

BTW rounders bats are shorter than baseball and softball bats I believe. Wooden bats do have a nicer sound with the proper balls too. If just for a knock around then you can always just use any old cricket bat. Even a cheapo one will work. Heck you can even get proper baseball kits for kids in plastic with a sponge ball if you wanted to.
