Corked a few in the 80s, but never for pros....used a toolroom lathe and a steady rest, then packed powdered cork and the dowel as a plug. Never believed it made a difference in beer league play, but there is a psychological advantage. We believed that you had to turn the label away from the ball, or your bat might break...lots of myths....
@squirrelguy21952 жыл бұрын
Mythbusters did an episode that proved your theory correct. Corking the bat in fact made it overall less effective. It might be faster, thus in theory making it easier to make contact, but the trade off is it actually makes the ball travel less distance, which could easily could cause a double become a single or an out or a home run become a fly out. A player is in fact better off using a lighter bat than corking it if they were trying to get on base via a single or double.

Little peanuts in the grand scheme of things. Pete sanded the hitting surface of his bats flat the year he broke DiMagio's hit record then MLB changed rules to prohibit it.

I'm pretty sure you'd be wrong on that. The impact is going to be on the side of the disc (or, in your case, rod) of cork. So the compression and expansion shouldn't be any different. If it were being used like a cue stick, I would agree with your logic. But either of us could be wrong, the only way would be to test it out, which neither of us is likely to do. ☺️

@rafaelguasp11412 жыл бұрын
It creates more of a bounce when hitting the ball because even tho its not hollowed, it does feel like it is because the center is still lighter then the wood surrounding it. So instead of a solid crack, you do feel a slight bounce off.

There's a video that talks about how when MLB cracked down hard on sticky fingers, there was a very sharp increase in batters getting hit. Once they got bored of enforcing it and stopped checking as thoroughly, people began to have better control of the ball and were less likely to accidentally crack skulls. So, officially, it is cheating, but it's cheating in a way that keeps players safe. Which is kind of a good thing. 😜 Anyway, the point is that there's worse things to worry about than sticky fingers.
@TheRealSwampOperator Жыл бұрын
I played with this too I took my cork and ground it up to about the size of #4 turkey shot, and packed it . This worked better than the method here.. objectively.. But the best one I made was with the ground up cork , but about 3/4 inch from the top, I put lead in... Then capped off with a thin peice of dowel.. That think was a hammer, reminded me of the old c core aluminum bats without the ping.. I think if you mixed the ground up cork with the right amount of wood glue, and corked it that way, you'd get all the advantages, but with a lot less risk of a break...never tested that theory, but I think it would work.. I know this, ground up cork is the way to go... Not ground to a fine powder, but about the size of a bb..

I used to be more on the fence about him, but one day I actually got to meet him! Plus, he really is a down to earth guy who loves baseball - just as his sports analysis program appearances would show. I like him now. Great player and coach and really respects the game. He gambled ON (not against) his team, and voluntarily put himself on the banned players list. However, when a few years later it was decided that all players on that list should be restricted from the hall of fame forever, he was up in arms and sued. Of course. Wouldn't you? He didn't know he was 'agreeing' to HOF ineligibility. But I think that was MLB's plan from the beginning. They did him dirty, and that's not right.
