I notice that sometimes he doesn't put his full force into his swing, he just waves at the pitch and hopes it bounces off the barrel of the bat. He should practice turning his hips and firing at the ball with all his might.

Not bad. Hitting with wood will definitely improve hitting mechanics overall. You can make a mistake with metal most the time and still get a good hit or foul enough not for an out. I use a 33 inch 31 oz half bamboo half maple Mizuno bat which I have had great success with. For me finding a wood bat has to be like finding the right glove. If it handles well for your size and strength and has a good feel in the hands then it's for you. Be selective when choosing a wood bat.
Well that is why a good hitter adjusts to the angle of the pitch. Your stance should be parallel with the pitch. So facing a lefty you would open your stance to swing parallel . Ted Williams describes all this in book The Science of Hitting. Swinging harder don't show results in a cage. Bat control is what should be developed before bat speed
younger kids any wood will do. If they are strong enough to start breaking wood bats start off with laminated wood or bamboo. Stay away from batting cages with dimple hard dense balls.A wood bat with a stained barrel is good because after repeated use, you can see the stain diminish on the sweet spot if you are hitting the ball solid. The trick to making a wood bat last is to keep the label facing straight up a piont of contact which is in front of the plate. 90 % of the pros don't have a clue.
@mpov147 however my GAMER maple bat which i loved broke 2/3 into the season. pitch came inside and jammed me. but yea u do have to keep the label up or down. hit the ball with the strong part of the grain. not the U's.
That is the lasiest swing i have ever seen. You have to turn your hips and explode to the ball and get full extension then finish high.

@mpov147 Your son has a nice swing, good contact, and strong hands. May I ask how much the netting for your batting cage cost?
