just to be that guy, We scaled my buddy’s warlock against mine, both 26 but one scaled 26.1 and the other 26.3. I’ve heard some people mention the warlock having more pronounced end load than the Demon but when I swung my warlock side by side with a Demon, the demon felt more pronounced
Either way .2oz probably doesn’t make a difference, I still suck
When was your scale calibrated? Probably never.
Calibration tolerances from the factory on these cheap scales are usually .5oz or more.
Let us assume it was. Do you work at a post office? They probably require calibration every six months or so, and in this six months many heavy things smash into the sensors each day. Those scales aren’t made from bulletproof diamond components, so they probably wear down.
Do the bats you test have the same amount of swings?
Same amount of bat grip? Same brand of grip? Even the makers of the bat grips have certain allowances for weight variances, and they make millions of these products which probably get variances based on the long term production wear of the machines.
.2oz is the new compound of plastic on the end cap, the dust or debris that makes its way into the barrel during production. Or dirt from the fields that stuck to the various parts of the bats.
Was it tested on a true flat and completely level surface? Were both bats put on the same exact spot on the scale? Stand on a bathroom scale with one foot, then the other, and then both feet; you’ll get three different results.
It’s a silly argument to make that a fifth of an ounce will affect your performance as a fine tuned athlete. .2oz is less than the dirt the bat picks up between each at bat. Do you clean your bat every time you use it?
Rant over.
Don’t weigh your softball equipment. It doesn’t matter, especially if you only play league to win a t-shirt.
Now it’s over.
