It's not feasable for a team to generate enough money to use wood bats because of the bats breaking so frequently.

A local coach reports that his players spend less on bats each year since they switched to wood. The key was to teach them how to hit with wood.
Another factor was that the players were caught up in the "keeping up with the Jones' trap and buying the new and improved metal bat each year at over $300. Now each kid buys three wood bats at $30 to $50 a pop.
