The Formula
Discover an inefficiency: NO TWO BATS ARE THE SAME
Identically labeled bats do not perform the same because no two pieces of wood are the same. The discrepancy ranges from 6-18ft of batted ball distance in one shipment of bats and even more when you compare shipments over the course of a season because no two pieces of wood are the same.
Quantify the Findings: The RIPz® Metric
We built our own high precision bat analysis laboratory that can detect these tiny discrepancies from bat-to-bat. We then conducted performance testing with dozens of MLB hitters to prove that our proprietary RIPz® metric accurately quantifies the performance potential of individual bats.
Convert it to a Performance Advantage: Identify the Gamers
Armed with the exact RIPz® score for each of your bats, finding your absolute optimal bat becomes simple. Anytime you get new bats, LongBall Labs analyzes them and provides the RIPz® score for each bat so you know EXACTLY what you are swinging.
