Baseball Instruction/Best Bats

Question
It's Jacob again. My baseball season is starting up and I have a DeMarini Vexxum. I was wondering what is the best bat out there now. Because I'm ready to buy a new bat.
Thanks, Jacob

Answer
Jacob,
I have not used a metal bat in many years, I have been using wood.  The high school and little league players that I train like the Demarini Vexxum, Louisville Slugger Exogrid, and the Easton Stealth.  Although these bats are very expensive I would have to say that the most popular bat has been the stealth over the last couple of years.  Most training facilities that have a good proshop will get demo bats from the manufacturers.  Ask them if you can try the bats out if they have a demo.

Thank You for the question,
John Priest
