This just arrived. Anything new?

There is an adult "city league" whose teams are comprised mostly of JUCO and Div III players.

Last year they decided to go to wood only for all regular season games (it's an NABF league I think).

Using metal:
The teams used to score 8-10 runs per team per game, and the 7 inning contests used to last about 2.5 - 3 hrs.

Using Wood:
The scores are now 4-5 runs per team and the games are done in about 1.5 hrs.

Using the above data, wood is more difficult to hit with.... and umpires (at least this one) LOVE wood bat games!
