Bonds just beat out Rickey Henderson for all-time walks...

Posted By: warshawlaw

The key to power is the equation f= ma. Force = mass x acceleration. If the bat is corked it reduces the mass of the bat more than the reduced weight increases the acceleration generated by the hitter. Just something I read in the papers by a physics professor when the whole Sosa shenanigan with the corked bat came to light.

If you really want to improve power, taper the bat to be shaped more with the weight concentrated at the barrel so that the weight concentrates in the area that is moving the most. One of the reasons for so many HRs nowadays is the bat design with thin handles and more weight forward.

Now, driving wire brads into the bat or putting in a metal rod, that would work...
