How do aluminum bats differ from wood bats in how they interact with a baseball?

Answer:
The sweet spot on an aluminum bat is way larger. A wood bat has a small area for its sweet spot, wood forces you to swing correctly. With aluminim you can take a bad swing and still hit the ball well. So wood bats are actually better to train and play with (from a devolopmental standpoint).
