An end loaded bat is a bat that has a weight at the end. The weighted end helps give power to your swing.

DEPENDS ON THE BAT....EMAIL ME TFANT@UBSE.COM
If you are a slapper, like me, you will want a balanced light bat because you don't need to generate a lot of force to get on base. If you are a power hitter you would want a more end-loaded bat. The bat you want all depends on what kind of batter you are.
Yes because it's wider near the top end and skinnier at the bottom.
It depends - are you a slapper, a power hitter, do you have slow bat speed or fast bat speed. The answers may be balanced, end-loaded, light drops (-11, -12).

Well first off, your question is very vague. My question is, is this "w" a logo type molding or is it melted into the end cap? If you have a Miken bat with a W melted into the end cap, then it is a NR bat. (Non-returnable).
Anderson bats are the best in my mind.....I have coached for 25 years and the girls who are relatively strong with quick hands destroy softballs.....at the same time, it is alot of bat for girls who are not very strong.It depends - are you a slapper, a power hitter, do you have slow bat speed or fast bat speed.

that number at hte end of the barrel is the subtraction of the length from the weight for example my bat the demarini phoenix is 31 inches and weighs 21 ounces and therefore the number a the end of my barrel is -10.
This is a tough question to answer. A softball bat is a very personal thing. It depends on how old you are, how tall you are, and how strong you are. Let me start by stating that the right softball bat is one you can swing! In fastpitch softball it is all about bat speed. The heaviest bat you can swing at FULL speed is the right bat. There are two measurements for a bat. 1) Length, 2)Weight. Weight can be anywhere from 18oz to 24oz. Length may be from 24" to 34". A 5-7 year old may use a 24" bat. While an 18 year old may use an 34" bat. There is one more measurement that you will see. The Weight-Length value. For example, a 20" bat that weights 30oz is a -10. Bats that are -10, -11, and -12 are very popular.
It depends on the type and quality of bat, some are made of aluminum, others composite. The higher end bats are usually a type of composite alloy mix.
