Pinning on new flanges

Also, I think relevant to this, is the weight of the bat. An extremely
light, virtually frictionless action would be analogous to a bat that
weighed next to nothing. Suppose that instead of 24-28 ounces, you could
have an equally strong, supple bat that weighed 3 ounces. That would be
widely unpopular because it would completely change the experience of
hitting the ball. The batter wants some heft, not too much, but if the bat
is too light, there's less control ... help me out here - isn't this
analogous to andre's argument?
