    Still waiting to see someone make a video with bats made of exotic hardwoods. I don’t think Ash and Maple are the best, they’re just the best for production at scale.
    How sweet would it be to see bats made of Purple Heart, Cocobolo, Rosewood, etc. There are tons of wood turning channels on TH-cam that I’m sure would love the opportunity to make such unique bats and partner with you guys on a video.

    • @ghijkmnop

    • @andrewdavie386
      @andrewdavie386 29 วันที่ผ่านมา +2

      Neat idea. Based on the Janka hardness test, which measures the force required to embed a 0.444-inch steel ball into the wood to half its diameter, the typical hardness of a baseball bat is about 5500 to 6500 N. A bat made out of Australian Buloke (Allocasuarina luehmannii) would have a hardness of 22500 N. If you don't understand the units, at least understand that is nearly 3.5 times harder than the hardest standard bat!

  • @baileysmith4744

  • @halestorm72
    @halestorm72 ปีที่แล้ว +75

    The old days, Major leaguers used to score/key up their bats to harden the bat. Not really surprised that Eric's bat did better. The concrete harden inside the scored grooves of his bat. It is so much fun watching these guys make content.
    A little side note with Cole. The improvement for Cole's performance is that he was able to generate a faster bat swing since he lighten up his bat. He does not have to struggle with the forces of inertia as much if he was still using a stock bat. Bat speed typically improves EV.

    • @briansearle6868
      @briansearle6868 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Scoring up wood does not make it harder the scoring of the bats in the old days was about causing more friction on the surface of the bat causing crazy spin and also better grip if done on the handle. There are ways to harden wood none involve scoring it almost all are about pulling more moisture out or applying a type of coating to it's surface or a coating that can penetrate the wood. And the only thing about the concrete that might have helped is it being able to pull more moisture out of the bat hardening it up. The concrete in the scored grooves was nonexistent cause it turned to dust. And also his increased EV could easily be because he was just hitting better that day or swinging harder.

  • @ek_films
