My son is really into watching the college world series. Question: On every players bat is a ring/tape/band about mid-way up the bat where the barrel just starts. Can you tell us what this is and what it's for?

I used to put tape at the base of the barrel...I used it as a visual for where the barrel of the bat was...I also would put pine tar below it, so it served as a "dont go past here with the tar marker"
I'm gonna assume the different colored tape is just based on blending in with the general colors of the bat, but ultimately I think its just what kids are doing these days and most likely it helps them think about getting the sweet spot of the bat on the ball.Great Day To Win

Its a two piece it acts like a hinge to get more energy transfer
from the handle to barrell for max whip .. more power...
