More Information
Summary:A ball bat includes a barrel wall with perforations positioned within a ball striking area of the bat. Perforations may extend through all or part of the barrel wall. In some embodiments, a filler material may be positioned in the perforations, or a cover element may be positioned over the perforations, to form a generally flush surface between the filler material and a surface of the barrel wall. Filler material may be less dense than material forming the remainder of the barrel wall. In some embodiments, a barrel wall may include a plurality of layers of composite laminate material. One or more of the layers may have perforations positioned radially between the other layers. In some embodiments, the perforations in the composite laminate material may be generally aligned to form a larger perforation extending through all or part of the barrel wall.
