Abstract
Representative embodiments of the present technology include a ball bat in which part of an inner surface of the bat wall has a contoured region including a plurality of radially inwardly curving portions and a plurality of radially outwardly curving portions. In some embodiments, the contoured region is asymmetric relative to a longitudinal center location of the contoured region. In some embodiments, the curving portions are unevenly distributed along the length of the contoured region. In some embodiments, a method of manufacturing a ball bat includes generating a simulated body within a simulation region, the body having a starting geometry that is modified to include less material (less mass) while conforming to displacement limits associated with loads at specified loading locations, among other variables.
