Does hitting baseballs (mostly at soft toss speed) create any more havoc on these composite fastpitch bats than alternatively hitting 12"softballs would otherwise?
The baseballs seem softer than softballs. Some of the newer fastpitch balls as as hard as a rockDoes hitting baseballs (mostly at soft toss speed) create any more havoc on these composite fastpitch bats than alternatively hitting 12"softballs would otherwise?
I would suggest not if you want the bat to hold up. I believe baseballs are more dense per size.
Softballs are only like a ounce heavier but much bigger ball. I had a guy go thru like 8 CFs in a year
hitting baseballs.
But im not a physics guy, so not sure on facts...I just think you hit the ball the bat is made for
Sorry I don’t have the details…..but if I remember correctly it established the danger of this combo because of the higher exit velocity caused by the more trampoline effect of a softball bat.
