How Much Do Metal Bats Matter?

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't there recent regulations about which types of bats can be used in high school and college play? I thought that bats that only allowed a maximum batted ball speed of x mph (only using "x" because I have no idea what the exact number is) could be used.

 

 

A barrel diameter not exceeding a maximum of 2 5/8 inches. A length to weight differential of no greater than minus 3.

I've heard they might go to a ZERO difference in the future.

I think that would be wise.

My junior/senior seasons I swung a 34-29.

 

I loved that thing. Could reach anything and was light as a feather. No wonder they outlawed it.

Ball Exit Speed Ratio - bats have to meet at ratio established by the NFHS

 

aluminum bats now are using combinations of composites and metals that are down right lethal to an inexperienced pitcher....scares me to sell these to some kids and leagues
