ABSTRACT:
A baseball bat includes a body portion having a target area with a midline extending longitudinally through the target area center and along the bat's entire length to a handle portion having a pair of substantially planar regions spaced from each other and inclined toward the midline by a convergence angle of between about 50° and 70°. The planar regions are separated by curved surface regions joining the planar regions to each other and sloping regions at each longitudinal end of the planar regions. The bat provides enhanced tactile information concerning the dynamic characteristics of the bat during the swing up to and through contact with a pitched ball so that the batter can learn substantially improved location and trajectory control.
