I'm not in love with the idea of using a different length, I didnt think of hollowing it out to drop the weight. That said I'm not in love with the idea of hollowing it out either, have you done it?
As a kid yeah, recently no, but I see no major issue if you start small and test a protype first. Get a beat up old wooden log and a 1/2" drill bit and an extender if necessary. Weigh the bat, drill out say 3 inches and weigh it again to calculate the weight/inch you dropped and then figure out if you need to go deeper or slightly wider to get the desired weight. Partially or completely fill the void w/ that expandable foam stuff and YOU or some other big stud hit some balls to ensure that it will hold up. Once thing to realize, regardless if its hollowed out or not, is that you may break a wooden bat or two if the girls hit a pitch near the handle (whether its hollowe out or not)!
