Need to get a baseball bat made.

Not just any but but a wieghted one.

Same Dimention etc just heavier.

We use it to warm up with, so dont care what wood it's made out of either.

I can supply a bat so you can get the shape and legnth I need.

the useally are 34 inches long and 31 ounces, so same length but just heavier.

Can anyone help

this may be a completly out there suggestion but what about if u bought an aluminiun bat, drilled a hole in the end and filled it with sand or something then put a rubber grommet in to seal it. That way you have a perfectly formed bat plus you can alter the weight as you need. I figure you could also pack some cotton wool or foam in there as well so u can get the sand sitting where you want and it doesnt move about.

Drill hole down centre of old bat, pour molten lead to desired wieght, cap with a dowl.

I thought of both of those options, just thought that would make it tow heavy.

Would like the weight to be the full barrel legnth not just at the end.

but a good option also.

When I was younger (i.2. 17-19) I was playing State League/AAA with Wanneroo (back in the days when Kev Hooker was coach!) but destroyed my arm and misdiagnosis pretty much ruined me.

Did you ever play with Sam Jew? Todd Murphy is pitching with you guys too right?
