cork is lighter. lighter means faster. simply put faster swing farther hit and faster reaction. it comes down to the velocity of the bat is increased which results in the ball being hit with added velocity and making the ball go even farther.Do you think the Philadelphia Phillies will make the playoffs this year?
You can swing a lighter bat faster, and corking a bat lightens it. You lose some power, but if a faster swing is what you want, cork in a bat does the trick. Just ask Sammy Sosa.Yankee doodle danndy question?
You can generate more bat speed with a lighter bat...so you could make a larger bat lighter...supposedly there is also some extra "bounce" in a corked bat since it has a more felxible portion when the wood is drilled out...better ask sammy so-so. seriously though, corking improves bat speed by making the bat lighter.

The cork has a bouncing effect, like a rubber band launching the baseball.Where did Joey Cora go? Watching White Sox is that him in dugout as a coach?
well idk..ask sammy sosa..hell explain it to youWhat was the slowest pitch ever to be clocked in an official Major League game?
All corking does is make the bat lighter. So it allows a batter to swing faster and get better swings. The effect is an improvement on contact and batting average. For a power hitter that means more chance of getting the fat part of the bat on the ball to hit one out. Combine that with steroids and you get 3 consecutive 60+ homerun seasons.Ever heard of Michael thompson he was a first round pick for the portland trailblazers?
In one word. Compression. Golf balls used to have a cork center, but now they have even better (more compressible) materials, which stores more energy using the same force, which allows drives to go even further. Bounce a basketball and measure the distance it rebounds. Now take some air out and measure the distance again. Assuming you drop the ball from the same height both times you will note a difference. Will leave you to figure out why.More Questions & Answers...
