The ones we used in 2009 were perfectly fine.
WHat was the difference that was added then? I'm seriously asking. How did we change the bats from 2000 to 2009?

the change was in 1999. the changed the diameter of the bats from 2.75 in to 2.5 in and from -5 to -3. In the latter half of the 2000s, bat companies started making bats out of composite materials that could be manipulated (rolled) into creating higher exit speeds, thus resulting in the change to the BBCOR bats we have now, which are awful.

Around 2000 or 2001, The weight drop on the bats went from -5oz to -3oz. This basically means the inertia on the bats changed to a smaller spot thus shrinking the amount of the barrel they could hit a ball with a still destroy it.
In 2009, LSU exposed the problems with the bats in that they realized that if the bats were used more often, they would slowly being to wear down and the bats became more powerful over time. Thus the outburst of homers we had during the CWS.
