Posted By: <b>MVSNYC</b><p>thanks for the heads-up!<br /><br />they're saying corking your bat will hinder, not help you. balls come off the bat at half the speed...<br /><br />

Posted By: <b>Zach S.</b><p>I always wondered how cork would help hit a ball farther... I guess it really doesn't. <br /><br />Earlier they showed how leaving a ball in a humidor will cause it to fly significantly shorter than a regular ball. They did all the math and determined that in a normal sized bb field it could cause you to lose 60 ft or so off a fly ball.<br /><br />Zach S.
