Best Answer

It depends on the size of the species. The Flying Fox, the world's largest bat species may weigh about 3.5 lbs. The Lesser Bamboo Bat of Southeast Asia weighs only 1.5 grams. Some of the common bats of the Unites States, such as the Brazilian Free-tailed bat or little brown bat, will weigh about half an ounce.

Drop = (weight of bat in oz) - (length of bat) Wood bats have a natural drop of -3, so: (-3) = (weight of bat in oz) - (34) 31 oz = weight of a 34 inch wood bat.
