How does the -10 on a softball bat reflect on hitting?

Kind of . Not necessarily . That number is the difference between the length of the bat and the weight . the larger the number, the faster the bat may be swung. I prefer to use a -11 personally . It's great bat speed.

What is the difference between bunting and hitting in baseball?

I am a softball player. Let me say first, bunting is basically half the swing as hitting. Hitting consists of swinging a bat across your entire body. Bunting, you swing 180 degrees and stop and let the ball hit your bat. Bunting makes the ball go in play at a small distance; hitting the ball can make your ball go anywhere!

Does a corked bat help hit the ball better then a wooden bat?

A corked bat might help with hitting the ball a bit but because the mass of a corked bat is different then to a wooden bat that you would be hitting it with less mass witch means you won't be hitting that much home runs form a corked bat. plus the corked bat is illegal to use in professional baseball in America. so if you wanted more home runs don't use the corked bat.

How does the weight of a baseball bat affect the distance the ball travels?

A bat hitting a baseball is an elastic collision which means there is a transfer of momentum from the bat to the ball. Since momentum is equal to mass multiplied by velocity, a higher mass means more momentum. However, you also must consider that it is harder to swing a heavier bat and therefore it will travel slower and therefore have less momentum.

How many ounces is -2 bat?

That would depend on the length of the bat. The '-2' is known as the 'bat drop' or 'drop weight' and means that the weight of the bat, in ounces, is 2 less than the length of the bat in inches. To find the weight of the bat you must first measure the bat to find its length. If the length of the bat is 30 inches, the weight of the bat is 28 ounces. If the length of the bat is 28 inches, the weight of the bat is 26 ounces.
