What does the w on the end cap of a softball bat mean?
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).
How do you end load a softball bat?
Carefully remove the end cap of the bat with a flat head screw driver.Flip the end cap upside down on a flat surface.Pour 1 oz of pourable polyurethane into the end cap and let it dry overnight.Place a small amount of epoxy around the edge of the end cap and press it back into the end of the bat.Let the bat sit overnight (again) with the end cap on the ground to ensure the polyurethane settles completely inside the bat.Note: End loading is illegal in all association softball and should only be used for exhibition or practice. End loading extends the sweet spot and can increase the the exit speed of the ball.

How do you choose a softball bat?
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.

Whats better end-loaded or balanced softball bat?
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.
