Bat big end weight data

[Socalbatcraft]

We helped get a Ghost returned to Easton that was 2 ounces above advertised. We've recorded swing data the past 3 years with Blast. One ounce of bat weight can lower hand speed 1-2 mph depending on age and strength of batter. It was a bit of a hassle until you have proven data.

I would love to get Ghosts in that are .5 and .6 over sticker

Right? Almost every Easton is heavy but carry the ball farther.

Insanes never really had big endloads anyway...they were more end heavy than a CF but not much. The CF line was so balanced
that it just felt like an end load to some people. But nowhere near a real endloaded bat.

What is your method for measuring “big end %”?

In lieu of breaking it in two on purpose, I think the only other "exact" way would be to have the CAD (computer aided drawing) of the bat.

Pretty sure what he is saying is if you had a 32 inch bat, that 65% of the weight of the bat would be in the barrel's 16 inch side. How he does it. I dont know.

Doesn't the balance point of the bat give you an idea if it is end loaded. So a balance point the farther out on the bat would indicate more end load?? I am sooo confused.

Surprised at the Quattro's. I would think the drop 9 would be more end loaded than the drop 10.

Mass distribution and center of mass (balance point) are not the same.

I have no idea how the manufacturers determine "end load". My numbers are only the big and small end weights. Are they "exact"? Nope. I'd say within .1 of an ounce.

I'd say within .1 of an ounce.

In other words the precision of the scale which you are using assuming your method is w/o error.

So the higher the % the more end loaded????

It sounds a bit like the swing weight concept for golf clubs. You use a scale like this:
