I can understand the want, though, to use bats used by pro players.
But brand new lower end Easton and Louisville Slugger wood bats can be had for $20 each.

Should? Is there a rule book for how people should spend their money?
Anyway. That isn't necessarily true. Yes, the more popular players' bats go for more, but I bought my Jerry Hairston Jr. Louisville slugger For $52 shipped.
I have a bid on one on eBay now that would total to $50 shipped. Don't know if you are familiar with wooden bats, but the higher end bats go for over $100. Most of the bats you would buy fort under that aren't the best, so I'm getting major league quality bats for a fraction of there price of a high end bat.

Even the higher end MLB bats, the Louisvilles are only 100-110 new. Is it worth getting a bat for half price with the integrity already compromised? That bat will most likely break a lot faster than a new one, barrign some freak jammed up hit
Nope spend it however you want, considering we are on a message board about paper with pictures and ink on them who am I to judge. Wasn't judging just adding a little humor.
I was just thinking of the bats I have seen sold at the Ballpark in Arlington they are normally pretty expensive depending on the player. But I guess for the scrub guys the bats could be fairly priced. You might check out the Arizona/Florida area shops as I am sure they get a hold of quite a few after spring training.

Not game used, but check out viperbats.com. They make some quality wood bats and reasonably priced. There are several different models to suit the type of hitter you are as well, and I think all bats are customizable - color,personalization, etc. Most of our team has been using them for 3 years and haven't had any complaints.
I will say though, the cheap $20 Rawlings big stick bat at the sports equipment stores are great batting practice bats. I highly recommend picking one up.

I would recommend a composite bat for practice, so you don't break/waste $$$. Jam jobs and broken bats can add up quick in the wood bat game.

I would recommend the opposite, Wood bats are a whole other animal versus composites. Practice with what you play with, same model, color size. Obviously find what you like first, but there ton's of different options when it comes Wood Bats.
I'd seriously check out the $20 Louisville Slugger Bats. I'm not sure if they are Supercharged or anything, but It would be a good way to ease you into using a wood bat!
Just like composite hockey sticks, wood bats can start to get really expensive and a burden if youre careless, get jammed, get slashed etc.

Check out a company called J and C Bats. I can vouch for their quality as I have swung them. They are a local company to me and they are great bats.
