    I can't remember what it was called, but someone brought a bat to school PE period one day that had water or some kind of liquid inside that would flow to the end when you swing it. Worked pretty well!

    @wingbatwu: the bat rotates as you swing it so it needs to be round to deliver an uniform hitting surface to the ball. any other shape would require much more than steroid use to perfect.

    I actually think this might work, though it would be mostly due to weight distribution. Imagine trying to hit a golf ball with a baseball bat. It will not work so well, since the mass is not concentrated at the head, as it is in a golf club. Displacing the mass to the tip of the baseball bat would increase head speed and might impact (pun!) how far you can hit the baseball.


    I'm not so sure about the aerodynamics, given that the baseball bat is well... a stick.

    I imagine a day, 10,000 years from now, when this is the only evidence archaeologists will find that our culture existed, and they shall be heard to utter the phrase, "WTF". Other than that, pretty amusing.
