I want to know what kind of metal bats Japanese people use. Any manufacturers, any sporting goods stores that have a web site, any contacts or websites that could push me in the right directions. Thanks.

The two biggest names in Japan are Mizuno and SSK. If you can navigate throught he Japanese, here are a couple sites:http://www.sportsauthority.co.jp/http://cyber4u.jp/baseball/
Two things to keep in mind if you’re going to buy a Japanese baseball bat:
1) Japan has many leagues that use a hard-rubber “safety” baseball. The balls are the same size & weight as a standard hardball but are softer, limiting their flight and making them safer. Do NOT use a bat marked JSBB (Japan Safety BaseBall) for normal hardball…you will destroy it.
2) Japanese love “sensation” in sports. Rather than try to supress the “PING!” that goes with metal bats, they have perfected it. Japanese bats tend to ring with a perfectly tuned but very loud “PING” on every hit. If you don’t like the metal bat “PING” then stay away from Japanese metal bats.
