Eric you should try to make homemade batting gloves 😊😊😊😊

make homemade batting gloves and see how durable they are. PLEASE

I would have drilled the bat out and shoved a piece of rebar in with some silicone.

there’s no way eric thought to put rough concrete around a bat and swing it around a bunch of expensive equipment 😂

[@nolanleahy4260]

I thought he was going to hollow it out and put the concrete inside which would've been the smarter option but it's Eric after all 😭

[@ringosk1]

His half ass concrete bat didn't outperform Tosh. He got one swing out of it before it became a dirty version of the regular bat.

[@bumcbumgorgita4148]

@@ringosk1no that was excess concrete

[@Louie-ji8xn]

@@bumcbumgorgita4148all the concrete broke off the only thing that was left on the bat was the residue u dumb ass . Erics bat ended up being the original bat with concrete residue.

[@birdwatchohiolive]

Still waiting to see someone make a video with bats made of exotic hardwoods. I don’t think Ash and Maple are the best, they’re just the best for production at scale. How sweet would it be to see bats made of Purple Heart, Cocobolo, Rosewood, etc. There are tons of wood turning channels on KZbin that I’m sure would love the opportunity to make such unique bats and partner with you guys on a video.

[@ghijkmnop]

I was thinking they could turn the stock bat until the barrel was about fungo thickness, and glue on a hollow purpleheart cover-- but I can't even imagine the amount of work that would go into it.

[@NK-iv8ze]

Eric’s just hitting with a regular bat after the 1st swing lol

[@billythekid22220]

Exactly

[@theweeniewonker]

The concrete was a training weight

[@baileysmith4744]

Eric’s first swing with the concrete broke away all the unnecessary excess concrete, and left basically what Tosh had on his bat. all thats left is to sand the concrete so its smooth and now thats gonna hit NUKES

[@EthanQuiggle]

I have to agree with Cole on the Fast and Furious series

[@jameskirby8086]

Sadly.. I agree. Last one where they were just having to keep away from cops because of street racing. Don’t care for all the crazy big stunts. Liked the street racing

[@EthanQuiggle]

@@jameskirby8086 yeah they totally turned away from what made the movies great, now they’re just absurd with no good stories

@@EthanQuiggle sadly because it makes more money. the first 3 were also the lowest grossing iirc. more people are into mindless action and seeing the occasional supercar than there are people who want to watch street racing movies.

[@jkizzle9953]

[@adrianpizano7751]

I'll say maybe Fast & Furious 4 was the last okay movie of the franchise. Fast Five is cool because of the nostalgia with everyone coming together from all aspects of the franchise, but anything after is just horrible

[@halestorm72]

The old days, Major leaguers used to score/key up their bats to harden the bat. Not really surprised that Eric's bat did better. The concrete harden inside the scored grooves of his bat. It is so much fun watching these guys make content. A little side note with Cole. The improvement for Cole's performance is that he was able to generate a faster bat swing since he lighten up his bat. He does not have to struggle with the forces of inertia as much if he was still using a stock bat. Bat speed typically improves EV.

[@briansearle6868]

Scoring up wood does not make it harder the scoring of the bats in the old days was about causing more friction on the surface of the bat causing crazy spin and also better grip if done on the handle. There are ways to harden wood none involve scoring it almost all are about pulling more moisture out or applying a type of coating to it's surface or a coating that can penetrate the wood. And the only thing about the concrete that might have helped is it being able to pull more moisture out of the bat hardening it up. The concrete in the scored grooves was nonexistent cause it turned to dust. And also his increased EV could easily be because he was just hitting better that day or swinging harder.

[@DarthBrunksSS68]

Tosh's swing is so good.

[@ninjasteph8350]

Eric made a shrapnel bat. That's terrifying

[@ManOfThePeople75]

These challenge/custom equipment videos are my favorite. They're incredible. I loved this!

[@brandonfinch881]

I'm from Seattle and go to M's games often (even though they are the worst professional team for the last 20+ years) so, I think it's really cool to see you guys batting with T-Mobil park on the hit track!!!

[@LetsGoSports_]

Tosh’s bat looked so cool!

[@ek_films]

Lots of people talking about Eric's bat, but can we talk about how Cole tried to drill into solid maple with a giant drill bit on a little electric drill without drilling any pilot holes first? (and that he didn't think foam would expand; "f*ck the instructions" I guess)

[@fliptactics2524]

Man everytime I watch your guys’ videos. I’m smiling and laughing the ENTIRE time. No homo. U guys are awesome. The KZbin baseball community needs you guys 💪🏽

[@TakahigeTsukada]

In Japan, I think it is rare to deal with concrete materials on a personal level, so Eric is great, the very king of concrete. I look forward to his visit to Japan!

Eric is well on his way to having concrete coated lungs, in addition to his full set of concrete coated baseball equipment.

[@AMEN4MVP99]

Tosh could build me a house with how handy he is lol

[@BlakJak]

Shout out Cole trying to drill through the bat with a masonry bit.

[@jojothegreat7]

Love these video cause it shows how smart tosh (and Trevor) is/are against the rest of them

[@robertflint4115]

After Eric's first swing and the concrete broke off, all he had was a standard bat but dirty. Tosh had what I thought was best idea, but it failed 🤕. So I declare Cole the winner. Rock on Gents

[@greasemunky25]

Totally agree with you!!

[@jmshowalter]

Eric always makes some janky survival game frankenstein type equipment. Also consistent with the krete. Always fun to see the results.

[@hawaiiancowboy2224]

[@calebcolon8926]

I love how all the concrete just came off pretty much bringjng it back to its original form. I love momentum and eric sim. Shoutout to kevin "loft small bunt the ball!!"

[@PLH1]

We did this, a colleague used fiberglass moldable soccer shin guards. He had an exit velocity avg over 110mph up from 92mph reg avg (all of us were college players… once upon a time).

[@andhemills]

The concrete bat could use some rebar? I'd be curious to test different fillers for "corking" to see what works the best.

[@malcolmmackenzie9202]

Lathe a hold down the centre to lighten the bat fill with foam wait for next day remove excess foam cap with caulk wait for that to set and you good

[@AsianSensationist]

They should play cage ball where they play with all the equipment they made. Glove, ball, bat, sticky tack, etc

[@khaliqbarkers1058]

can we all give cole his flowers. ever since the video when he doubled on an lefty young all-star his swing looked better

[@snickers882]

What about drilling the middle out and adding concrete to the inside.. or other random fillers?

[@altonking598]

Love all the vids

[@greyghost4471]

eric: buying sandpaper at home depot while they’re already there:❌ rubbing bat on curb: ✅

[@chrissugidono3929]

Half of Eric’s lungs are just concrete

[@midwest4237]

@Eric, you should have gotten some sand paper for roughing up your bat instead of rubbing it on concrete my boy! Just an idea for future ideas just in case. 👍

[@lucasdehner1812]

As a guy that uses the spray foam and caulking for a living you gotta let the foam harden before you caulk over it

[@forreststrong797]

I feel like the concrete needs to be reinforced maybe like there use wire mesh or rebar to reinforce concrete I think there's even fiber reinforced concrete. Then if you want to cork a bat you need to use cork filler it comes in a can it looks and feels like cork because it is but it's in a can that looks like a paint can and the cork filler is like a paste people use it for leather making things I think and shoe making etc.. but if you get the cork filler you can pack it tight into the bat then glue a wood plug over the hole and you'll have a properly corked bat.

[@imsmoke888]

Would be sick to see a full resin bat

[@masonmueller474]

i love that eric and cole are screaming at each other, and tosh is just very very quiet

[@MoLToLv]

You guys couldn't be more right about F&F!

[@rezzyoffical8504]

Just so that you guys know in the future, you drill in with a smaller bit and go bigger and bigger!! Also that's a concrete bit but idk how much it effects it

[@bickwithnick]

eric: “im tired.. and fat” gets me everytime 😭

[@beth7538]

Can you play cage ball with every homemade object. Baseballs, bats, helmets.

[@andresgmoralesrodriguez4308]

This videos are great keep up the good work less go

[@hawkman302]

Easy solution to making it heavier. Drill out middle, add concrete, seal end. Then it doesn’t ruin your hitting surface and won’t break apart when used.

[@Stephzo38483]

LoL awesome video. May I suggest using aluminum and fiberglass in your next DDIY video?

[@nowellclay1283]

@_tosher_ Tosh and Momentum's new idea for a video is that you guys should make your own ballpark food and maybe brew your own beer lol. Like helmet nacho's

[@maniacmitch1]

i would love to see you make a bat out of Willow wood (Salix Alba Caerulea) that they use to make cricket bats

[@cooperjohnson8989]

You guys should do this with medal bats

[@tracymeahan]

9:54 tell Eric to put some water in the bucket first before he even starts pours the concrete. It'll cut down on the dust

[@Killdroid96]

Eric should have done the same thing cole did and “corked” the bat with concrete. Use TINY pieces of rebar to add a little weight and use caulk or something to cap the top off and flatten it out. I think that actually would have done alright.

[@aaronhelmsman]

Homemade batting gloves? Or just weird alternatives to normal gloves

[@jessehodge3281]

Eric you should of drilled out the barrel and then filled the inside of the barrel with concrete.

[@ionsharpshooter]

One thing about wood baseball bats they get broken in, as you hit the wood compacts and you get higher exit velocity, Look up the term bat rolling
