So I want to start using wood bats but I don't know if I should get a new aluminum or a new wood bat. Im playing in a 14 u trip team so I don't really know what I should get. whats some things I should know about wood bats..
Aluminum/composite bats will almost always have more pop than wood (except for cheap bats) but they will cost more. Also, wood bats (especially maple) can break, obviously. I play 13u and I'm about to upgrade to a -5 or -3 BBCOR Bat and I would suggest the same for you. Wood bats just wouldn't deliver the amount of performance that a decent aluminum/composite bat can. So unless you have to have a wood bat, go with metal. You don't have to use wood until the minors or if you run into an all-wood tournament.
