equipment technology...question?
Posted By: peter ullman
Equipment in almost all sports has evolved in some way...usually benefitting the athletes making them better at their craft. I got into this argument with my buddy the other day and we disagreeed. Do you guys/gals think the baseball bat has changed much in the past 100 years to benefit the batter? |

The taper would help. Pushing more weight out toward the end of the bat would allow more torque to be generated w/same weight bat. |
