The weight of the bat matters a little but nota lot. You want a light bat because you can swing it not a heavy bat then you cant swing it. Also what are you a contact hitter, power hitter, or more of a bunter? If you are a power hitter use an Exogrid or an Omaha. If you are a contact hitter than you would want to use a Stealth or Triton. If you are a bunter than you should get a good magazine or book then stay home on the couch.
This is a bulls**t answer! I want the physics. Same person swinging, obviously can swing a lighter bat faster, but more mass in a heavier bat. Come on nerds, I need empirical evidence.
A rotational hitter will hit a baseball harder with a heavier bat. This is because if they have enough bat speed, it will have a greater force pushing the baseball the other way.
simply answers please just answer Heavy or Light
Aluminum. Corking a bat reduces the collision. A ball travels further with an uncorked wooden than a corked wooden.
A metal bat hits the ball further than a wooden bat because metal is harder than wood.
The weight of dhoni's bat is 1270g or 2lb 13oz........it would be quite heavy........no wonder he hits the ball so hard.-shekhar.
Whose bat?
Aluminum....thats not that hard it is metal so it goes further where wood absorbs the force.
It depends whats inside the bat. If the bat is hollow, then the bat will absorb the shock from the ball. Generally if you hit it at the sweetspot(near end of the bat) the ball will go farther.
Advantage is that you can hit a ball further while the disadvantage is that it is harder to control or change the swing
a wooden bat hits better becaue the way a mental bat hits it has that loud hit and the louder it is the farter is will go
base it off of how you like bats, if you are a contact hitter use a slightly lighter bat because if you dont need power why have a big heavy bat, if you are a power hitter use a slightly heavy bat but make sure you can swing it because no matter how good the bat is if it is too heavy you will never get a hit. pick a bat that you can swing all day. if you cant swing a lighter or heavier bat at pitches all day DONT get that bat. I made the mistake of using a bat that was too heavy for me for half my season, i was getting my fair share of hits but then i switched to a lighter bat and then i was alot better for the rest of the season instead of being 7th or 6th in the order now im 4th or 3rd. Some pitchers have intentional walked me because the bat i use is good for me, hope than helps. :)
