What is the weight of a 32 inch wood bat?
Drop = (weight of bat in oz) - (length of bat) Wood bats have a natural drop of -3, so: (-3) = (weight of bat in oz) - (34) 31 oz = weight of a 34 inch wood bat. In the MLB, that's the minimum weight of a bat. That's why corked bats are illegal, because they weigh less and give a more negative drop (which is an advantage).
Why is it hard to adjust a wooden bat?
It is hard to adjust to a wooden bat, because the bat may be heavier than your normal bat. Most wooden bats are -2 or -3. Another reason is that the barrel is smaller and so is the sweet spot. You don't get that pop off a wooden bat that you would off an aluminum bat. Hope this helps! Nick
Does a MLB bat have to be one solid piece of wood?

How much farther will a ball go after being hit by a metal bat as opposed to a wood bat?
Studies have shown that the speed the ball travels after being hit by a metal bat is 3 to 8 miles per hour faster than a wood bat. This would translate to a ball hit for a home run travelling 20 to 50 feet further off a metal bat as opposed to a wood bat. Click on the 'Metal Bat vs Wood Bat' link on this page to read a very interesting article about these studies that were performed on the two different types of bats.
Which drop on a baseball bat is the best a -3 or -12?
This really is a question with no answer. The question also leaves out -10's, -8's, and -5's. You want a bat that you can swing fast enough and be comfortable with. A heavier bat will carry itself better when you hit the ball, ecspecially if you can get good bat speed. That's the reason people get heavier bats. Just get a bat that you can swing good but it should not feel like a twig. This really is a question with no answer. The question also leaves out -10's, -8's, and -5's.

What is the difference between a baseball bat and a softball bat and can they be used in the different leagues?
A softball bat has a fatter barrel tot he bat, as well as a larger length-weight differential. Also, the length of the barrel is longer on a softball bat, as it starts lower on the bat. No they cannot be used in different leagues since softball bats have the larger length-weight differential (maximum in Major League Baseball is -3) and the barrel is too large (standard barrel is 2 3/4 ")AnswerBaseball bat barrels are usually fatter in diameter, heavier and have adifferent COR value (this determines the speed the ball rebounds off the bat) the balls rebound is slower for a softball bat.

What is the minimum no of weighings to detect a heavier ball out of 8 balls?
Two. Take 3 balls and 3 balls. Leave 2 on the table. If the 3 and 3 balance set them aside and weigh the remaining 2 balls and you know which one is heavier. Done. If they don't balance, take the heavier 3, place one ball on the table and balance the other 2. If they balance, the one on the table is heavier. Done. If they don't, you know which one of the two is heaver. Done.
