I own the same bat and you can't cork one unless your REALLY good. So your mad your pitcher threw a meatball and he hit it with a good bat? Maybe he isn't a good pitcher?
@litojonny Yes but they don't know sports and that has a factor in it. And your the retarded 12 year old who lacks the knowledge to understand you can't believe everything you see on TV.
Let me share some of my knowledge with you cause your clearly lacking it.
Bat speed = Huge factor
Sweet spot = Biggest factor
If you watch the episode the have the ball hit on the handle and they also have the bat swing at the same speed. One of the things with the corked bat is that not only does the bat have a trampoline effect but the bat speed is greater due to a lighter bat.
@coolkidcater "the ball hit by a corked bat travels at only half the speed of a ball hit by an unmodified bat, causing it to go a shorter distance. The cork inside the bat actually absorbs the kinetic energy like a sponge, hindering the batter's performance. In addition, because corked bats are lighter, they have less mass to transfer force into the ball, bringing them to the conclusion that the use of a corked bat had fewer benefits over a regular bat."
corking a metal bat doesnt do shit. you would only ever see increased performance by corking a wood bat because it gets rid of some of the weight allowing faster bat speed.
I didn't no they made orange stealth then again the last ALUMINUM bat that I've had is a 2007 red Stealth, the inside is juuuust cracked and you can hear a little bit of sand in there but its still got the best pop I've ever felt. Yeah ALUMINUM not COMPOSITE geez wat cheating wusses. You need that much help to hit a ball? Bash on Softball being lame, but you'll gladly use their equipment! You want the fences and the bases shorter too?
ok i played baseball my whole life and i have NEVER heard of a corked composite bat.. corked wood bat yes.. but wouldnt a corked composited bat take all the composed air out of the bat and make it LESS likely to hit a homerun? yeah i would think so.. sounds like someone is butthurt over a loss to me lol
@KirbleClaws Actually they're figuring out that corking the bat doesn't really help much if any. The cork makes the bat greatly lighter and causes less weight behind the ball. Greater speed = greater power, but only when the weight is kept the same.
Taking the top off of a bat does not take away the bats power. I have the orange stealth skinny barrel and the top came off but I still hit home runs with it.
You can only cork a wooden bat dude.... corking just makes a wooden bat lighter and gives it more of a trapoline affect.... if you cut open a metal bat it would loose all of its compressed air and would lose pop..... this is just a strong guy hitting
@Loganagin wrong, corking a bat takes away the trampoline affect. So many scientists have tested it out and a corked bat DECREASES performance. So if now a days anyone uses a corked bat they are just fucking retarded because it causes you to hit the ball a lesser difference even though bat speed is increased.
You can put bouncy balls or tennis balls into the bat to get a bit more pop.
Done this many times for fun. If you haven't tried it, don't talk about not being able to "cork" a bat. Sure it's not actually using cork, but that's what people mean when they talk about it.
wow you people are ALL retarded...corking a bat's main purpose is to cause a trampoline effect inside the bat..makes the ball go farther. the reason we say CORKING is because they hollow out the center of a WOOD bat causing a greater trampoline effect and the cork is to damper the sound of an obvious hollow wood bat. Nothing about it being lighter. Metal bats are "shaved". search shaved bat
@Knuckledragger80 WRONG! The purpose is to make the bat lighter which will produce a quicker bat speed. You cant have a trampolineaffect on the wood. It would just shatter.
Yeah cause filling an empty bat makes perfect sense? Composite and aluminum bats are already hollow..... So why bother making it that much heavier when it is already light enough
lol people are stupid the composite bats sound that way when they crack and become a super bat and the max velocity of 105 becomes around 110-115 off the barrel haha thats why it sounds that way bc the insides of the bat and the walls are become thinner increase the trampoline effect when i ball hits a metal bat. hence why metal bats only last about 8 months if u r lucky in high school
you wouldnt cork an orange easton stealth if you got the composite one you would shave it which increases the trampoline effect or if it was metal you would load it
That didnt sound right at all. Corked does nothing for alum bats. The only thing that works is tennisballs but even then you are adding alot of weight to a bat.
I dunno... makes no sense.. what also makes no sense though is this. "footbasket13 Work down now. Throws a letter high cock shot." Is your cock at the letters in your jersey? A cock shot is a pitch cock high and right down the dish.
you cant cork a metal bat in the same way you would cork a wood bat, but if you shove racquetballs in that bitch it does make a small difference in how far the ball goes
@mothahen123 Why in the hell would you "cork" a metal bat? Cork is lighter than wood, but the metal bats out there are hollow. So in corking it you actually make the bat heavier.
for starters, you cannot cork a metal bat. Next, its a composite bat that makes a duller thud when a ball hits it. there's no "ping" to it because its not even a metal bat! its composite! get the facts straight.
@WardRoberts12321 there was definitely something different about that bat. you're wrong a composite metal bat still makes a similar ping to ur classic aluminum bat, just lower pitched. it sounds nothing like this. i have 2 of them and know from experience
no its not corked. i know this becuse: 1. Its a easton stealth thats filled with composite and cnt so it cant be filled with the cork. i have the exact same bat and it is one hell of a bat so its definately not corked
@FreakOfSB its not "filled with composite". that makes no sense. composite means that its made of two different materials conjoined at a certain point on the bat. they're still hollow, and they can still be corked (easily actually)
metal bats cant be corked so @Jriz2112 is right but the bat he is using is a composite stealth bat..this is where he was wrong in describing the material of the bat. composite bats unlike metal bats are made of carbon fibers that are laced together very tightly and after a process called "rolling" it can increase distance when balls are hit and the exit speed of the bats is far more higher than it originally was and another process called "shaving" similar to corking it used for the same purpose
ok just to clear this up, you pop off the endcap of the bat and put like 3 tennis balls in the barrel. by the way kmk52790 that is true for a wooden bat, but definately not a metal one. i have a old omaha that i have laying around the house and i corked that. it sucks, and it ruined the bat. don't try it unless your going to throw away the bat.
Corking a bat actually slows down the speed at which a ball flies off a bat, as it acts more like a sponge than a spring. You GIMP YOURSELF if you cork.
how would he cork his metal bat? do u even know what a corked bat is? it doesnt make the ball go farther because its corked, it makes the bat lighter and increases bat speed
@Jriz2112 you take the end cap off, (which you can see at 0:00 is the round thing at the top of the bat) You pull that off and stuff either bouncy balls or tennis balls down the barrel of the bat. When the ball gets hit it is like hitting a golf ball. the rubber in the bouncy ball rebounds the shock from the baseball and sends it.
@Jriz2112 It doesn't make the ball go further. It just increases bat speed. Think of a 100lb kicker running at you full speed (20mph). Then a 250lb linebacker running (12 mph). Who will make the person they're hitting go further
