Significance and Use4.1 This test method offers a laboratory means to measurethe inertial properties of bats, specifically weight, balancepoint, center of percussion, and MOI, in support of other testmethods including the ASTM standards referenced in thisdocument.4.2 Use of this test method can

10、provide sports governingbodies the means to establish rules regarding the physicalproperties of bats, specifically MOI.5.

(152 6 0.8 mm) from the knob end of the bat (see Fig.1). Hang the

22、 bat in the stand making sure the bat hangsvertically and can swing freely about the pivots. If the bat doesnot hang vertically, correct by centering the bat between thepivots.7.2.2 Rotate the bat about the pivot to an angle of 5 fromthe vertical. Release the bat and allow it to swing freely (seeFig

23、. 1). Allow the bat to swing through five cycles (that is,settle into simple pendulum oscillation). Start the electronictimer when bat reaches the fifth swing cycle. Stop the timeronce the bat has completed 15 full cycles. The timer shall betriggered by a light beam broken by the path of the bat at
