Catcher was probably more right than the tracker. But hard to tell. We do that graphic on the side by side afterwards, so its also a bit of a guess too.

My son wants to go from a -10 Zoa to the -10 icon next season. He still uses the gold and black zoa because it was $100 cheaper than the red. We will be going with last years icon because buying a repaint is a waste of money. But, he may consider the Soldier Tank as well.

And stay tuned for our video coming this week comparing it to other hot bats in the space!

Bore me with science on how you determine this is end loaded. Bat bros say this is more balanced than soldier tank and hype fire.
@batdigest6 күн бұрын
We could not be happier to talk to someone about the science of swing weights and how we actually measure them. Haha We measure the actual swing weights using the same methods as the certification labs, ensuring our numbers are quantifiable and replicable. (Pendulum period with a laser gate timer, weights at 6 and 24 inches, etc). We were trained by former industry lab professionals and acquired our equipment directly from them. You can read more about the process here: www.acs.psu.edu/drussell/bats/Papers/TPT-October2010.pdf. The pendulum, laser gate timer, and scales you see in that pdf are pretty much the same things we use in our lab. Unfortunately, simply shaking a bat cannot accurately assess swing weight. Many in the industry are overconfident in judging it by feeling alone. Check out our video later this week, comparing these bats head-to-head and demonstrating our measurement process. Below is the data we captured, with the last column representing the actual swing weight at 6-inches from the knob. As you can see, the Icon has about 5% higher swing weight than the Tank and the highest swing weight of the 4 drop 5 bats we talk about in the video. | BAT | Weight @ 6 inches | Weight @ 24 inches | Pivot to Top of Knob | Pendulum Period | ACTUAL WEIGHT | Swing Weight @ 6 inches | |-----------|-------------------|---------------------|-----------------------|-----------------|---------------|--------------------------| | ICON | 4.69 | 22.8 | 0.25 | 1.5742 | 27.49 | 8173.6 | | Tank | 6.19 | 22.2 | 1.00 | 1.53235 | 28.39 | 7752.9 | | Hype Fire | 4.44 | 22.9 | 0.25 | 1.5646 | 27.34 | 8012.5 | | Zen | 4.95 | 23.1 | 0.375 | 1.5624 | 28.05 | 8152.9 | We do a someone decent job of keeping up on our swing weight measurements on your members site you can find in the menu here: www.batdigest.com/ We've been measuring swing weights since we started Bat Digest in 2015. Also might be worth noting, Rawlings also claims the bat "balanced" with a "slight endload." They have these swing weight numbers when they get the test done. We agree with that. We'd put he Hype/Tank as just plain "Balanced." Hope that helps. Thanks for watching and asking. We always happy to talk shop.
