Abstract: A handle weighted bat according to various embodiments can include an elongated hollow aluminum barrel portion. A handle weighted portion is included such that the largest concentration of mass is provided in the handle portion and for positioning the center of gravity within the handle portion of the bat. The handle weighted portion is configured as a one-piece, solid body construction that is impression die forged from a single piece of carbon steel to form an integral knob and rod portion. The bat includes a non-threaded connector comprising a pair of spring pins inserted to rigidly connect the aluminum barrel portion to the rod portion. The pair of spring pins is oriented at a 90 degree angle relative to each other.

Abstract: A modular bat selecting simulator system according to various embodiments can include a handle weighted modular baseball bat configured to receive interchangeable weights in a handle portion of the handle weighted modular baseball bat. At least one tracking system configured to track movement of the handle weighted modular baseball bat and movement of a user while swinging the baseball bat. A computer configured for receiving data from the tracking system to determine an optimum bat weight based upon swing dynamics monitored while the user swings the baseball bat and outputting the data to a display. The display displays a virtual background including a virtual image of the baseball bat and a pitched ball, virtual movement of the baseball bat and the user swinging to hit the virtual image of the pitched ball.
