Wood Bat Sweet Spot at Patricia Mcnair blog

Wood Bat Sweet Spot. The sweet spot on a baseball bat is typically located roughly 5 to 7 inches from the barrel's end, towards the bat's center of mass. Despite the old timey aesthetic to wooden bats and sweet spots, scientists actually didn’t know much of anything about the acoustics (yes, acoustics) of a bat until the 1980s and ‘90s. The sweet spot on a bat refers to the specific location along the barrel where maximum energy transfer occurs upon contact with the ball. While the widths of the sweet spot regions were the same, the aluminum bats hit balls faster from the sweet spot, and also hit balls faster for impacts away from the sweet spot. Russell's research explains some of the physics of the sweet spot based on how a bat vibrates. You'll learn how to find the exact sweet spot on a wood bat. Hitting the ball on the sweet spot minimizes vibration and maximizes the trampoline effect, resulting in faster exit velocities and longer hits. You'll see a slightly larger sweet spot with composite bats which is due to many factors outside of the material used.
