I just got a new wood bat for batting practice, and someone on my summer team told me it would be a good idea to tape the barrel to make it heavier, thus increasing my bat speed when I go back to alloy. I recall seeing a video of Bryce Harper using a wood bat with a taped barrel and saying that he swings a 33 36 in bp.
Have any of you ever taped the barrel for added weight, or have any opinions on it?
