Abstract
A bat has a barrel with a multi-wall construction. The handle can be formed integrally with the inner wall. A damping device can be installed between the handle and the outer wall of the barrel. The damping device can dampen vibrations transmitted from the outer wall to the handle. The damping device can also separate the outer wall from the inner wall adjacent the handle section. The inner and outer walls can be bonded together adjacent the end of the bat. Alternatively, the inner and outer walls can be entirely free of bonding to one another. Additionally, a damping device can separate the outer wall from the inner wall adjacent the end of the bat. Furthermore, the bat can include a pair of damping devices that separate the inner wall from the outer wall both adjacent the handle section and at the end of the bat.
