I'm amazed that these bats even pass the test. The properties of wood are never consistent, and each bat will vary greatly.

The road test.

No, the 98 MPH certification.

Unless they're WAY below 98 MPH. They probably are.

I don't believe there is any way to test the compression of a wood bat.

I would think rolling a wooden bat would be harder to pull off than the metal ones. I mean, they would have to really roll them down to get the original woodburnt imprints off.
