  • o shut up... you know you all want to know how to cork a bat....dont lie and criticize this guy

  • Wow this channel teaches you ever illegal think in baseball...First the spitball

  • WTF!!! 

  • maybe he'll teach us next on how to hide pine tar inside the baseball

  • I would assume this bat would have more give because of the cork allowing you to be in contact with the ball for longer and give it

    More acceleration. Obviously the flex is very important, otherwise a aluminum bat would hit just as far as a aluminum rod of the same mass. This is obviously not the case.

  • @huskyjerk your bat will crack. And this video isnt how 2 cork a bat its what a corked bat is

  • If youre so smart ... How do we cork a metal bat then? :D

  • Is it legal to bore the bat out, but leave the cut-out chamber empty?  That is, can you remove part of the bat, close off the end, and leave the hallowed part empty, and still have a legal bat?

  • @huskyjerk if u did tht the bat would shatter

  • @hitter1 Not if you left enough wood at the end. Meaning that you bore out just the right amount.

  • @huskyjerk There's no point, the bat would flex or break and you wouldn't get any power from it. They do ground out the caps of the wood bats though.

  • hÊh_ÁNYÖnÈ_wÁñNÃ_chãt_wíth_me_­Í_fËêl_sÖ_löÑèlý_tòDAý▼

  • so ive got a minor league used bat and it has a hole in the end was it corked

  • @aarpn2 Not necessarily, they sometimes make their own modifications, esp at the minor league level to try to lighten their bat to their liking.

  • can you create a "how to inject steroids" tutorial?

  • @1WaterlooGuy someone needs to go to rageaholics anonymous.

  • @1WaterlooGuy 1)He taught you how to cork a bat 2) you're an idiot. Find something better to complain about.

  • @1WaterlooGuy yes but did hank aaron or babe ruth or Roger Maris cork bats or use steroids? no so if they can beat them with out the enhancments then y cant we?

  • OHHHMEH GOWD ITZ RUSSLE CROW

  • Bill Clinton?

  • wow dey tell us how to cork a bat

  • I'm guessing the people who think corking a bat somehow transfers more energy into the ball hasn't watched MythBusters.

  • @lesliekwan80 I'm guessing you didn't watch the video. He said it increases bat speed.

  • @ScottyHale , of course it increases bat speed because it's lighter. So why not just use a lighter bat? There is nothing in the rule book that prevents a player from simply using a lighter uncorked bat.

  • @lesliekwan80

    I was replying to you...who said it transfers more energy into the ball?

  • @lesliekwan80 You wouldn't just use a lighter bat because a lighter bat = a smaller bat, a smaller bat = a smaller sweet spot, therefore giving you less room to make solid contact.

    go back to the kitchen.

  • Why not just drill a hole in the bat and fill it with wood shavings.

  • @vineet123kumar123 wow ur stupid it hits harder and farther 2 retard it doesnt just make it lighter

  • @terddude708 , Why are you calling other people stupid? I'm sorry, but you're the stupid one. Vineet is right. Just using a lighter bat would make more sense. Corking a bat DOES NOT make you "hit harder and farther". In fact, it actually does the opposite because the energy is absorbed like a sponge by the cork.

  • now teach us how to use steroids

  • Corking a bat is making it tube like giving it more flex so the balls are hit furhter. Same concept as a softball bat and the tube like composite structure of the bat. This idiot didn't even no why corking a bat makes a ball go further.

  • @damatrixxxus Thats some wrong information pal

  • @cfl990 Still don't know??

  • don't cork a bat, just buy a "361 wood" . the maple is rock hard. i own one, and that bat is a beast.

  • You are pretty much teaching kids how to cheat!

  • I don't understand how this would make the ball go further. I'm no physics major, but I know Force = Mass x Acceleration. So you're increasing the acceleration by corking the bat, but at the same time you're reducing the mass.

    You can swing a T-Ball bat like you're Pujols, it sure as hell isn't gonna make the ball go further.

    I also think it's funny as hell that expertvillage, who supposedly make reputable videos, made a bat-corking video.

  • @thekth

    Theres more to physics than just Force=MassxAcceleration

    So why bring up physics if you're not a physics major?

  • @SG02JATT Because I wanted someone to explain to me the advantage of corking a bat, I said right away that I didn't understand. Someone else explained what I was missing, the guy was wrong when he said making the bat lighter makes the ball go further, instead corking the bat gives it more flexibility, or "pop".

    Your post, on the other hand, explained nothing, it just made you look like a douche.

  • This is how you shoot someone sidenote: shooting someone is murder and murder is illegal but if you must here is how you shoot someone...

  • yes

  • wait, is it illegal?

  • Why do they bother to put cork in, why not just leave it hollow and plug the end?

  • It would break if you hit the ball.

  • @upyoursassmonkey because the bat will splinter with a big hit. You have to have something in there to keep the bat from breaking so it can absorb the impact.

  • Comment removed

  • @TeamoJr

    Tard, corking is to make it lighter and to make it more springy.

  • mythbusters say it makes it worse

  • I like that show a lot, but they did that experiment incorrectly.

  • how do u do the experiment right then and really whats the point of corking your bat lol if your a good batter you dont need to cork it! lol wahat position do u play!?

  • Mythbusters used a Machine to test the theory, and that fails. When you cork a bat you will be able to swing it faster (listen to the video at 0:45 - 0:55) . The machine they used swung the corked and uncorked bat at the same speed. Baseball players would swing the corked bat with more bat speed.

  • true... I guess you should submit that to them lol!

  • yes, it makes it worse. but like the guy in the video says, it makes the bat lighter, which gives the batter more speed when he swings it giving the ball a further distance.

  • i cork a bat it works i hit like 5 in 1 game

  • It works but is a complete waste of time

  • this guy basically said this is illegal, but this is how u do it in a tone enchoraging u to cork it.

  • i bet Sosa came to this site 10 years ago

  • Hahahahahaha

  • LOL, that's what i thought of too

  • @derekj54  wow yur a fag

  • @bpyslikegirlsfan334 your a fag

  • @derekj54 not only sammy

  • @derekj54 except its not 10 years old...

  • @derekj54 haha

  • Why don't u put you're "cork" in ur ass!!!

  • I'm just gonna hollow out my bat and make it lighter. Still one piece.

  • it'll break in about 2 swings so i will be the first to congradulate you (in advance) on a waste of time and money for something that wont work

  • Until it smashes into about 300 first hit

  • Joe Dimaggio and Ted Williams used 35 inch bats. According to Louisville Slugger, a bat should have one ounce for every one inch. When people ask why bats break as frequently as they do, it is because that major leaguers want to use a -3. A -3 is too light for a wood bat.

  • the reason they break so many bats is b/c 95% of them do not hold it properly. You must hold the bat with the grain, if u hold it against the grain you suddenly have nemerous breaking points

  • and the label on bats will show you how to hold it... generally you hold it with the label straight up so you are looking directly at it with the bat held out in front of you. That will orient the grain for the proper hitting position.

  • I've heard tht Babe Ruth corked his bats

  • maybe you make it lighter for use in a porn movie

  • I just finished watching the episode of mythbusters where they test this theory out and...guess what...it came back as MIS-conceptional...Corking a bat reduces the distance of a hit!!! BIG SUPRISE!

  • if its illegal y would they post this video?

    i bet this is where sosa n them got the idea.

  • HahA I bet!

  • ya sosa got the idea about 5 and a half years after it happened to him

  • I don't think Sosa got the idea from the internet lol

    Corking bats has been around for YEARS... And 'they' can post this on youtube because ANYONE can post on YouTube.

  • its only illegal to use in an official game dumb dumb you can use it when you are just practicing or just playing baseball with your friends

  • Who cares if you cork a bat (other than an MLB game). As long as your having fun, it's all good. XD

  • thats bullshit

  • don't use cork guys... it's just wrong... use super bouncing balls

  • now tht would b kewl

  • We use one for practice, ground balls and stuff... it's insane!!!

  • y not just get a lighter bat?? or is it different?

  • A wise man once said, "If you ain't cheatin you ain't tryin"

  • that's the dumbest fuckin thing i've ever heard

  • do u even know who said that?

  • A very wise man by the name of Nook Laloosh. He holds the record for most walks and most strikeouts in a game in the history of baseball. One of the all time greats. Right up there with Billy Chapel and Ricky Vaughn.

  • ummm, he didn't actually show how to cork a bat. everyone knows what he just said.

  • " now I dont promote cheating, and yes it is illegal, but fuck it, heres how to cork a bat "

  • @FurryOblivion09 Yea what an Asshat.

  • i believe it really donr work at all

  • Corking doesn't even work.

  • Please forward this video to Sammy Sosa , and catch Sammy on his new MTv debut of "UnCorked"

  • haha

  • corked bats are worse than non corked bats

  • defintely dong this hahaha

  • thx for telling me know why don't you show how to do it. Shit, I could of said all that.

  • umm... could you explain that in more detail i didn't quite get it. i dont get what to put in the whole.

  • cork

  • mythbusters tested it corked bats work worse

  • You proabably do not even play baseball. They tested the rebound and energy transfer of the bat. In this video, it says, "It makes the mass lighter, so you get more bat speed." It's the whole concept behind a fungo bat. Pay attention.

  • um i know even if its lighter it does not make it better even tho its faster.

  • why not just use a lighter bat?

  • then the visual effect would be a smaller bat no? its just a little trick they used to use. you cant use a smaller bat in the majors so just cork it :D

  • the lighter the bat is...the shorter. So lets say I have a 32 inch bat, and it weighs 38 oz....corking it would allow me to keep the length while making the bat lighter by 4 to 6 ounces.

  • Yes, this is why people cork their bats. Long bats = Heavy.

    Short bats = Light

    Corked bats = Light and long

    :D

  • A 32/38 is ridiculous. Bats come with a 3-ounce drop, so like 33/30 or 34/31. For anyone to use a 32/38 they would have to be on crack, it is way too short and way too heavy for the length. There are regulations on bat size and weight proportion so you can't just go buy a lighter bat, then the bat would be illegal as well, thus why people cork bats to cheat.

  • idk people r just stupid and dumb i guess. like sammy sosa

  • Like he said. It's not he cork in the bat that helps it's the bat speed. The ball will come off a normal bat faster because of it's mass. But increase the speed and it's another story. They didn't test that. They should though I'd like to see that.

  • thats complete bullshit

    the mythbusters are cool and do some neat stuff

    the idea of a corked bat is to get a lighter bat with still good mass and a good pop off the barrel

  • killing people is wrong, but here is how you do it (might as well do it right)

  • wow great video..... a shitty minute and 14 seconds about where to drill a hole. not that its hard to figure out. and no demonstration? just write an article or something.

  • The comments on this video are more fun than the special olympics!

  • he said stick lol 0:16 wood stick

  • With the information given I could easily cork one. I don't need a step by step lesson.

    1. Drill

    2. Insert cork

    3. Cover up the opening in the end of the bat.

    Pretty simple.

  • This video is incorrectly titled. It should be titled guy talks about what corking is but does not explain anything beyond that.

  • This video really doesn't show you shit. I still couldn't cork a bat with the information this old fart gives you

  • on mythbusters they cored a bat but they dident show it cus they dident want ppl to be dong that stuff

  • "on mythbusters they cored a bat but they dident show it..."

    --that's just an urban legend.

  • um actually they did cork a bat and it actually absorbed the hit resulting in the ball going a shorter distance.

  • what a shame i was expecting Sammy Sosa to teach this. Also, you gotta put tennis balls inside a hollowed out metal bat.

  • if it's illegaal then why are you teaching us how to do it then?

  • bcuz not all baseball games are official.

  • hahaa

  • want a lighter bat to swing.

    just get a lighter bat totally legal to do so.

  • Comment removed

  • Well he tells you not to cork it, but it does not mean you can't use it just dont use it during a game. Use it for BP its not a game till the first pitch of the game anyways. You can't compare corking to drugs it just shows how ignorant on here you cant compare a substance to wood. As far as roids go they saved baseball and put asses in seats. There is no one else to blame but Bud Selig for not doing anything about it till now. Same people that hate roids hate the DH part of baseball.

  • Why do morticians shove cork up dead peoples assholes??????

  • what the fuck is wrong with you?!?!?

  • Haq ha ha!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • wow this is gay. its illegal and ur still showing ppl how to do this? what if high schoolers start doing this? thanks retard

  • shut upp..... lol

  • pwned

  • chill u really think that this is the only video or how to guide to cork a bat

  • Baseball sucks fuck all of you lol!!!

  • Sorry bulldog23 but seems to me I read their best player has been taking steroids since high school. So the Yanks do cheat.

  • just ask the yankee players if u wanna know how to cheat.

  • dude stfu bout the Yankees they are way better then any other team out there and they don't cheat so why don't you go take your Yankee hating ass and go kill your self

  • red sox anyone?

  • thats why they got beat by the washington nationals the other day

  • wow that was sooo hard lucky i watched this

    I wouldnt know what to do hahaha

    um put a hole in it then put the cork in hahaha

  • Thanks! I'll get my bat corked for my little league all stars game!! Thanks again!

  • LOL

  • IT'S ILLEGAL YET YOU'RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND TELL PEOPLE HOW TO DO IT!!!

    stupid, stupid, stupid...

  • thats what im saying.

    its like saying dont do drugs... but then he shows you how to properbly do drugs lol

  • totally agree

  • i will put a cork in ur pat lmfao

  • wow!!!

  • Hey, all I want to see is home runs being jacked out of the park. I don't care how it happens. Just make it friggin happen... Oh, it would also help if you use steroids too...

  • Put a cork in it!

  • Please don't type on the computer anymore. Your incessant bashing is making my eyes hurt.

  • lol

  • GET

    THE

    FUCK

    OFF

  • yeah i saw that episode

  • You are a fag, and so are the mythbusters.

  • and you belives everything you get told hahaha them in the world leader and your gona die by suicide

  • lol its illegal....but here's how you do it lol

  • Haha I laughed at that too, basically teaching you how to cheat.

    "Up next, here's how to take steroids..."

  • Damn you I was going to say that.

  • too bad you didn't. =)

  • lmao haha xD

  • I use wood

  • i just learned how to cheat...

  • If its illegal.. why are you showing us how to do it?

  • cuz hes awsm

  • for practice purposes..its also called a fungo bat

  • thats true, i wasn't thinking about that

  • does it matter? who uses wood besides the pros?

  • lol its not illegal by law..........

  • high school's use wooden bats

  • umm no
