Bat question

What's on your mind?

by flyfishbs » Thu Jun 21, 2012 1:25 pm

Would there be any advantage of using a 32/21 over a 31/21? Since they weigh the same. Would one feel a lot different, or make the ball go farther with equal swings? Would the longer bat have a bigger sweet spot? I am a newbie and trying to understand bat characteristics,sp.
Thanks for enlighting me.?

Longer bat will have a longer sweet spot. Longer bat will also swing longer. Although weight is the same, the moment of inertia will be farther out the handle on the longer bat. So it will not swing exactly like the 31/21, but not as different as a 32/22. It will be somewhere in between.
