Abstract
A ball bat for striking game balls with an elongate body with a first end comprising a knob, a handle fixed to the knob, a barrel fixed to the handle, and a second end comprising a tip fixed to the barrel. A threaded bore hole is disposed in the barrel of the elongate body, and a threaded rod is matingly received therein. An adhesive may be interposed over the entire surface area between the rod and the bore hole to prevent the rod from dislodging and to secure the barrel of the ball bat against splintering. The rod may be formed from a material, such as hickory wood or a wood knot, that is of a greater hardness than the material of the barrel of the elongate body. The rod may have a grain oriented transverse, and ideally perpendicular, to a longitudinal axis of the elongate body along which a grain of the elongate body may be oriented.
