CORKED BAT THEORY TEST

Posted by: THE HITTING GURU () on Sat Jul 5 20:05:05 2003

Take two bats equal length and weight. Cork one of the two bats. Take a baseball or softball and take 30 swings with each bat. The batter will throw the ball up and hit it towards the outfielder like in fielding practice. Only the good long hits will count in this test. Whichever bat hits the furthest should prove our point of if the corked bat makes a difference. It helps to note that balls hit in the air off the sweet spot will carry the furthest.
