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.

A bricklayer has 8 bricks Seven of the bricks weigh the same amount and 1 is a little heavier than the rest If the man has a balance scale how can he find the heaviest brick in only 2 weightings?
First, divide the 8 bricks into 3 groups: 3 bricks on one side of the balance, 3 on the other, and leave 2 bricks aside. If the balance tips, the heavier brick is in the heavier group of 3. If the balance is even, the heavier brick is one of the 2 left aside. Next, weigh 2 of the 3 bricks from the heavier group. The heavier brick will be identified after these 2 weighings.
