Benefits of technology

[0024]Another object of the present disclosure is to provide a bat having a connection between the handle and barrel that regulates energy transfer between the handle and ba...

Problems solved by technology

As the prior art bats have increased the performance in this area, many of the sports regulatory agencies have placed performance and/or configuration restrictions on the bats.
The portion of the prior art that has attempted to address this need has drawbacks.
Most of these prior attempts i...

Embodiment Construction

[0011]Disclosed herein is a bat for striking a ball. The bat comprises an axis, a handle, and a barrel. The handle includes a knob end, an attachment end, and a length separating the knob end from the attachment end. The barrel includes an end cap end, a barrel portion, a barrel length, and a transition section. The transition section is operatively attached to the attachment end of the handle. The bat can include a joint connecting the transition section to the attachment end while separating the barrel from the handle. Further, the bat can include an internal tubular member operatively attached to the end cap end and positioned within the barrel. A knob can be attached to the knob end of the handle while an end cap can be attached to the end cap end of the barrel. A grip can be attached to the handle adjacent the knob.

[0012]In an embodiment, the joint connects the transition section to the attachment end and includes a collar, a securing device, and a polyurethane spacer. The coll...
