How does the new KFP meaure up to the Nanotech? It does not appear the KFP has the launchpad technology. Is the KFP the replacement for the Pyrotech?
The "true weight" designation is a marketplace term and refers to the actual scale weight. Based on the center of mass, the moment of inertia, the overall length and the measured total weight we have established the swing weight of a bat. The calculations began with real marketplace examples, we measured more than a thousand of our bats and competitor's model bats, and we established two very different specifications, swing weight and overall (true) weight. By manipulating any one or combination of those specifications we can make the same weight swing as though it is lighter or heavier. The distribution of weight can skew the numbers dramatically.
We tried very hard to educate the buying public to this system but we were met with some resistance. Apparently we did not explain it well enough or it was too complicated for marketplace consumption. We have persisted and your question demonstrates that some of the info has gotten through.
Every Anderson bat has a solid machined knob. The weight of the knob is transparent to the swing and some would argue that it even helps the swing speed. I am such a believer. However, let's just say it is transparent. That means every Anderson Bat has an effective weight of one full ounce less than the scale tells you. If I were to add additional weight to the knob it too would be transparent and handle weighted. The NanoTek swing weight was adjusted very differently so it is not specifically handle weighted beyond the solid knob.
The K-series bats are a replacement for the PyroTechs.
