A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11890517B2) discloses a unique ball bat design that features a barrel portion made of a fiber composite material from a single molding cycle, forming a one-piece structure. The bat includes a proximal region with a continuous integral single wall construction, a central region, and a distal region. The central region consists of first and second central region walls, while the distal region includes first and second distal region walls. The first inner barrel wall and the outer barrel wall are spaced apart by a separation, allowing for independent movement upon impact with the ball. The bat also includes an end cap and a handle portion, providing a comprehensive and innovative design for improved performance.

Furthermore, the patent details various configurations and dimensions of the separation between the inner and outer barrel walls, ensuring optimal performance and durability. The design allows for radial deflection of the outer barrel wall upon impact, enhancing the bat's effectiveness in hitting the ball. Additionally, the inclusion of a spacing element between the inner and outer barrel walls further enhances the bat's performance. With a focus on structural integrity and performance optimization, this patented ball bat design represents a significant advancement in the field of sports equipment technology, promising improved results for players at all levels.
