my question was, well, 29 or 30 inch bat hit
- 00:03 - 00:04
baseballs farther?
- 00:04 - 00:04
Let's see.
- 00:06 - 00:08
So my research was usually longer.
- 00:08 - 00:11
Bats have more end load than lighter bats, but most
- 00:11 - 00:13
of the time, longer bats are heavier and harder swing,
- 00:14 - 00:17
so shorter bat would be easier to swing and you
- 00:17 - 00:17
would swing faster.
- 00:18 - 00:20
You would also have more control over where the back
- 00:20 - 00:24
goes. My hypothesis was, I predict that the longer bat
- 00:24 - 00:27
or the 30 inch bat will hit baseballs further than
- 00:27 - 00:30
the shorter bat or the 29 X that the 30
- 00:31 - 00:33
inch bat has more end load and has a higher
- 00:33 - 00:38
velocity, which will hit baseballs harder, which results in them
- 00:38 - 00:38
going further.
- 00:42 - 00:46
The materials that I use were metal, 29 inch metal,
- 00:46 - 00:49
30 inch bat baseballs and a hit tracks, and it
- 00:49 - 00:52
hit tracks is something that tracks how far you hit
- 00:57 - 00:58
the procedure was.
- 00:58 - 01:01
First you get the 29 inch back, then you have
- 01:01 - 01:03
someone 35 pitches to hit.
- 01:03 - 01:06
Then you grab the 30 inch bat and have someone
- 01:06 - 01:08
35 pitches to hit.
- 01:08 - 01:11
Then you ever draw both of the bats on how
- 01:11 - 01:12
far the baseball went.
- 01:12 - 01:16
The baseball's went Finally you see which averages higher.
- 01:19 - 01:24
Okay, The results were the 29 in Chad, 1 16,
- 01:25 - 01:28
1, 16, 1, 17, 1 19 and 1 23 ft.
- 01:29 - 01:33
But the average for that was 118.2 ft.
- 01:35 - 01:39
Um, the 30 inch bat was 78 inch.
- 01:40 - 01:44
I mean, 78 ft, one of 6 ft 1 28
- 01:44 - 01:48
ft 1 29 ft 1 32 ft.
- 01:48 - 01:52
And, uh, the average was 114.8 ft.
- 01:54 - 01:59
So in conclusion, my hypothesis was wrong.
- 02:00 - 02:02
I thought that the longer bat would have a better
- 02:02 - 02:05
average, but the longer back did hit the longest baseball,
- 02:06 - 02:07
which was 132 ft.
- 02:08 - 02:10
So if you're looking for a baseball bat, you should
- 02:10 - 02:11
get those smaller one, but
