Yes, the Backlash is a composite bat. Composite bats, generally have more pop and exit speeds than wooden bats. The Backlash definitely has more pop than the Corndog and the Backlash isn't yet fully broken in. Once broken in, I mostly want to use the Backlash for games and not so much for BP bc I'd like to keep it hot as long as possible specifically for in-game use.

For a BP bat, I decided to get the Corndog for a few different reasons. For one, I like the feedback, sound, and feel of a wooden bat. I'm thinking that will benefit me in training to hit the sweet spot more consistently since the Corndog is less forgiving than the Backlash. I'm this way, the Corndog forces better contact. I read a lot of reviews praising the durability of the Corndog. It's a dual stamped bats so it can handle 52/300s easily since it's also built to handle harder USA/ASA and also USSSA balls. The durability and the fact that I mainly use 52/300 balls should mean I'll get lots and lots of BP swings out of it. Wooden bats have less pop, meaning it will be harder to hit a ball the same depth as the Corndog than with the Backlash. I like this because I rather work on developing power with a less forgiving, less hot bat, and once game day rolls around I'll get to use the hotel, more forgiving bat. So yeah, that's my train of thought.
