Should do one of the home made contests where it’s all corking. The exterior of the bat has to stay the same but they can do whatever they want to the internal.
I gotta give Eric credit. He always has great baseball content consistently, funny and interesting always. Really respect how far he’s come, I remember him throwing and drinking in a Canadian indoor cage 😂
Eric, you're looking for something to increase the trampoline effect of the wood. Try pouring hot rubber or something eith a similar density, then cap the hole with at least three inches of wood to form a compression pocket in the sweet spot of the bat.
Try filling the hole entirely with wood glue. If you have a lot in one place and keep it away from oxygen so it dries slowly, it dries firm but still has give/squish/bounce and would completely adhere to the wood ("dries stronger than wood") so it wouldn't come flying out the end. Plus, it's just about the same weight or less as actual wood. We need a follow-up episode with the top 5-10 suggestions in the comments. Don't ignore us!
I'd have a welder make a cast for hollowed out chrome steel marbles with a clay core, roughly ~3-5 mm thickness and ~10-20 mm diameter to cork my bat with something to dampen the impact of the marbles against eachother. I'd have to consult someone what the optimal dimensions are for the integrity of the balls and bat as well as the performance of the finished product. Basically the idea is that metal and clay are far denser than wood, although clay is prone to damage, so the metal shell would protect it. The finished product would not be lighter and possibly heavier, but it would in theory have substantially more pop like the composite cores for Stealth or Catalyst bats
Opposite of the intent of standard corking, but I would try something like tungsten or lead to see what could happen with F = ma aiming for an increase in mass instead of acceleration that normal corking looks at
Using something to make it SLIGHTLY heavier but springy like modeling clay may get even more impressive results. Not all modeling clay just some mixed with something stable like cork or something to fill gaps. The trick is not to make it overtly heavy just a bit but filling any air pockets. Maybe even spray insulation foam around cork.
I think you need to use that cork that comes in a can and pack it in. If you google cork filler you can find it. I believe its used in shoe making. Also I'm not sure it makes the bat bouncier i think its to remove weight but if it does make it bouncier the cork would need to be tightly pack into the hole like that canned cork filler stuff
Wish y'all had done a second round of normal bat tests after the corked rounds, just to eliminate the possibility that ES got looser as the tests went on resulting in higher bat speed and EV
30 years ago, as a kid, a guy at a sporting goods store told me you do it with cut up pieces of racquetballs; which, in terms of physics, seems like a valid idea.
Bro next time measure to find center and use a drill press or a lathe. Drill press is definitely cheaper but with a lathe you can literally turn a bat on your own
Heres the problem, if you CORK a bat with anything but cork, it’s not CORKED! It’s just modified 😂 (yes I know, it’d still be corked, since corked in the english dictionary is nothing to do with the cork itself, but it’s fun to say corked)
Surprised I haven't seen this recommendation yet but you should try spray foam. It should accomplish the same thing as the nerf but fill the entire cavity and be its own adhesive.

Should have used concrete.

One time I found a little league bat cleaning out a storage locker that had concrete poured into lol weighed like 20 lbs

They did do that
@@julianarvelo7072 I thought they did better bats, and they messed with the exteriors.
@julianarvelo7072 You are both correct. They have a video doing both the outside of the bats and also corking their bats.
With concrete?😂

I knew a guy who said he put a racquetball in one of his bats when he was younger and it was insane. I’ve always wanted to see if that was true.
I literally just commented almost the exact same story, so clearly it’s a thing!
Its a thing! Did it with the 08 vexxum.
@@willylaughlin2170 I loved the Vexxum without a racquetball
@@atrout114 yeah pretty good bat! Had a friend knock the cap off and thought we would have wine fun with it
They don’t do shit except weakness the batt. It’s simple
ITS NERF OR NOTHING
those bouncy balls that you find in those 75 cent dispensers would be like the perfect thing to cork a bat with i feel like
Mighty goat did that one

Just imagine reaching out to a big leaguer to find out he's corking his bat with Nerf Rival rounds😂

High density expanding foam.
Also take your bats to a wood worker that can get a hole perfectly down the barrel
We need a compilation of Eric breaking his bats
Eric swing in this video reminds me of nick castellanos 😅
"You can't mess with that bat, it's the best thing ever." Also illegal lmfao

Should have stuffed it with Glizzies
Air Pressure. Engineer a valve stem coming out of the cup. Keep the nerf stuff inside for filler, shoot some air pressure in their and kabooom!
Ads😢
I'm not a baseball guy. But I love watching your videos.
That was so good my sun said these
this just proves eric's carried by metal bats
These are the best videos
I did this with bouncie balls the small ones from the 25 cent machines. Seemed to work good when I was a kid
She walked in to that one. Like how did she not know what the outcome was going to be. 1:38
He was using the five nights at Freddy’s song at some point
How i just found your channel 2 weeks ago, I do not know. Love this shit!
Try using spray foam to cork the bat. You could probably drill a bigger diameter hole and then fill it with that.
Who was that guy with very little hair that said yes?? 🙂
Chris Sabo is having PTSD watching this
Wish y'all had done a second round of normal bat tests after the corked rounds, just to eliminate the possibility that ES got looser as the tests went on resulting in higher bat speed and EV
The segue into that Manscapred at was perfect
A titanium sleeve would be pretty crazy
When I was in little league a kid got caught with racket balls in his bat.
You have to try it with those little rubber "Super Balls" the ball bounces of of it like a loaded spring.
SHOULD USE EXPANDING SPRAY FOAM WOULD BE MUCH LIGHTER
corck one with construction foam will be solid and probabbly super light
I would try putting in expanding urethane foam, or fill it up with sillicone and let it cure!
I’m curious how expanding foam insulation would do.
Somebody at Momentum must be a Coop772 fan. Nerf Rival rounds AND the same font Coop used?
I love that you guys still use that $150 tee😂
Liquid rubber. That informercial stuff… Flex Seal🤔 I think it would be beneficial for sure. But who knows
How about using expanding foam?
30 years ago, as a kid, a guy at a sporting goods store told me you do it with cut up pieces of racquetballs; which, in terms of physics, seems like a valid idea.
10:13 she a woman of culture 😂❤
That’s awesome!
I was at your Salem Keizer volcanoes home run derby and game and it was sick!
Have you tried using flex sealed corked bat or homemade glove
eric never fails to get hurt
The part where she said these balls are too big for the hole to fit in got me dying
It’s Nerf or Nothing!😂
I would have used rubber bouncy balls the ones that you get like for a quarter at the little candy vending machine.
I've heard ping-pong balls work great. Not sure if that's true or not. just something I was told by an old timer who used to make wood baseball bats
Bro next time measure to find center and use a drill press or a lathe. Drill press is definitely cheaper but with a lathe you can literally turn a bat on your own
Is it just me, or is it extra funny that the best performance was given by a "NERFED" bat ...
Hey Eric "Mr Tool Man" LOL
Good job Sim. I was wondering tho. Are you wearing a change or is that a choker.
Eric’s actually using the tee from Trevor’s video
>89.2
>89.4..again
Eric, dude. 😂😂😂
Gotta try some rolled metal bats
Dip it in flex seal next time or line X
madison/gilmore references i feel like a boomer right w yall
Try the expanding spray foam they use for insulation and then try just drilling the hole and leave it empty
It’s happening!?!?
Would spray foam insulation work?
Once again, the highest EV are ground balls
I wonder how construction spray foam does.
NERF BOIS WHOOP WHOOP
Quite a few Major Leaguers used Super balls. Also heard of them using balsa wood
6:59 five nights at Freddy’s music
Liquid foam!!
Momentum has gotta do diy training equipment. Something you make from home depot materials that could actually aid in training
Yall should try the bat that's filled with nitrous
I’m not a fan of baseball I’ve never played a game in my life but man, he’s such a great entertainer I love the videos
“Little league velocity” shows 70mph
Shout out to kev for the editing‼️
if only during his career he tried to break the bat like this he prolly would be in the MLB rn
I would cork a bat with running shoe foam, like Nike Zoom X or Adidas Ultraboost foam.
I would grind up the cork and pack it in
First like
I want uncooked pasta as my corked bat preference.
2:10 BLUE
That ball on the ad was not hit for a hr 😂😂💀
I haven’t watched the full video. But for me, it’s Nerf or Nothin.
7:15 Sammy Sosa has entered the chat 😂
He's still one of my favorites
I would use modeling clay
Insulation foam

Please get folded
I would use bouncy balls
Surprised he didn't use concrete😂😂😂
I would do cotencandy
Corked it with concrete
Put a cork in it 😂😂😂
Superballs....or tnt.

can you hit at the Brewer's ballpark??? And can we see some Spring Training fields???
Very good videos keep it up
No you were just hoping for cake, and we don’t want to know how fast you got hard!! Skill level JACO-O!
Should have handed him a random bat and not told him what it was, there's an argument that corking is all in your head.
KE=MV^2 says they should, the sponginess of cork says they shouldn't, Im sure it just evens out
