ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a metal ball bat and a method of forming the same. The metal ball bat includes a tubular metal body including a barrel and a handle. The handle includes a gripping zone and an end. The metal ball bat also includes a collar having a first opening defined by a first edge, a second opening defined by a second edge, and an inner wall extending between the first edge and the second edge that defines an interior chamber. Part of the end of the handle extends through the first opening into the interior chamber of the collar and is flared against the inner wall of the collar to mechanically secure the collar to the handle and form a knob.
