As a father of a soon to be high school player who just loves wood bats, I say that this is the way to go. With a wood bat, you really get to see what a batter can do. Will it be a rough change for the players? Yes it will.
It took a lot work on my son's part to learn that there is a different swing to wood but more importantly, wood talks to you! It tells you when you hit correctly and when you do not do it right. The problem is that those with lousy mechanics will not get the “correction” that metals gives you. You do not get that huge sweet spot that the metal bat gives. That is going to be a killer for some.
As a 40 year "student of the game", I will believe the change to wood when I see it! There is always another excuse for staying with metal.
