It is possible to achieve the same endurance with a northern white ash baseball bat by not swinging at poor pitches. Foul balls are hitting a part of the bat that sends a ripple of energy like an earth rocking tremor down the to the end of the bat, circling through the knob, and racing right back up.
All that action is jarring the outer circle of the bat, not to mention how you as the hitter can sometimes even feel that uneven force come reeling up through your own nervous systems ganglia like a shocker. Your bat deserves better choices being made. As a hitter, you know if you have to reach for that pitch, it is likely to go out of control.
