      Knowing Home Depot it wasn't even cedar. It was treated pine stained to look like cedar. They carry quite a bit of that. Explains the "water logged" comment the other home depot employee said.

      In medieval England, the English longbow was crafted from English yew because the springiness of the yew led to higher arrow velocity through a trampoline-like effect. I wonder if something similar would work with a bat. The bat would flex somewhat and spring back, theoretically leading to higher exit velo and balls traveling further. I want to see this.

    • @stompingpeak2043
      @stompingpeak2043 Год назад

      There's a reason they don't usually make bats out of most woods. The grain structures of alot of hardwoods can't handle the impact of a hard shot. Unless it's corked or something like this process to give the wood some absorbing power. The most popular hardwood that can be used is white oak because it has large grains that are less prone to shattering. Although most bats are usually made of something like pine because it will not break as easily

    I think the priority for exit velo should be how fast you can swing the bat. the big lunky bats are very hard to square up, and don't have as much bat speed as the lighter ones. the energy produced is more reliant on the speed of the bat than the weight.

    Should make a baseball bat out of Ipe. Would be the heaviest bat ever but would be interested and seeing if anyone could break it and if it would ring you up when you hit with it. But good luck trying to cut it down to size to make the bat. It would eat up any saw and the chisels would not like it very much.
