  1. I can think of two ways to improve the wood bat limits. Use a better wood. Hickory. Ironwood. Another idea, what are the legal limits on the diameter of the handle area. Most are thin to improve the bat speed when using human power. Not a consideration here. Not sure if rubber on the clamp would help or not. Perhaps solid aluminum, or fill the void with high density foam. You are using an electric motor to swing the bat, the sky is the limit. The idea is to make something that might be semi legal, even if impractical or basically useless to a person. If you drop that limit, a solid steel bat. At some point the ball will limit you. You were already shredding the ball.
