Is the bat top weighted or is the weight distributed throughout the whole bat?

No it is not end loaded. The weight is evenly distributed throughout the whole barrel.

the total weight probably weighs more than 5.6 oz. The plastic ball with the rattle inside has a little weight to it. The other 2 balls - the blue one with nubs on it and the multicolor ball weigh practically nothing.

I bought this bat for my 15yr old daughter last fall. She has used it with the machine and weighted balls and has had no problems. She loves this bat, has hit 2 out of the park with it so far.

Yes, there is a spring within the chamber that holds the bat. When you open the case, the bat will pop out just like in the picture so it is easy to grab.

There was a paper that came in the box that gave all warranty info. How in the world did you crack a composite bat? Was it used only for batting? Don't let kids use bat to hit anything other than balls. I have never had any cracks on my Xeno bats.

no. It comes deflated and you put the air into the ball. No weights at all.

Since the radar is fixed and the ball is the variable, I would say no, as the ball measurement is more consistently taken when the ball is more accurately fielded and thrown. I don't know how you duplicate that with a bat without damaging the device

My daughter who is 9 is using a composit bat and I've takin some good swings with her bat and haven't seen nothing wrong with the bat. Now I wouldn't say over time it won't ruin the bat. The best way to use this machine is not to power swing but to hit it around 75%. It's more about hand eye coordination and muscle memory and the right way to swing... Swinging to hard makes the ball jump around instead of an even swing around the pole... Overall I'm really happy with it

I can't answer that - all I can tell you is that we had a bat in the house - and after installing it on the first floor - no more bats. We hung it at an angle so that the sound bounces off the floor and walls and ceiling.

There is a bat symbol, it's just dark like the base which makes it hard to see. You're going to love yours... it's awesome! g-

No. It is not weighted but this is a fairly heavy gauge vinyl. I have had no issues with it moving or blowing back in like some lightweight ones do. I love this curtain. The half color, half clear really opens up the room.

It really depends on the child's bat speed. I would guess he/she wouldn't be able to hit the ball coming straight down from the tube but that doesn't mean you couldn't start with using the net (letting the ball fall and have it bounce back to simulate a toss to the batter), then move up to hitting the ball as it's falling from the machine as the child's bat speed improves. It's not necessarily hard, just more of a pain to put together and break apart each time. We keep it put together in the shed. Lastly, I cannot stress enough the importance of using a proper bat (lenght/weight), especially for young children. This and any other hitting tool wouldn't help him/her at all if the bat is too long or too heavy. It really depends on the child's bat speed.

Don't worry, travels easy and I never use weights in the garage, just slides a little after session (like a few inches) has spikes for outdoors. My kid was worst hitter in his, three weeks after I bought this he hit a triple and a home run in one game.

If you are refering to the USSSA stamp, then yes, the fourth Image of the bat, has all the stamps on it, it is the first one from the handle up.

Works great for bats - see my full review for details how to set it all up.

Since it is a smaller motorcycle top box, it weighed around three pounds. It is a very good top box as I use it when I do not take long trips. In other words, when I ride around town and need a smaller box. Great quality and you will enjoy it.

Unless you're planning on batting by method of leaving it out on the street and letting the bat take on a Steam Roller, a Mastodon, or an airplane landing on it, I haven't had much trouble. This bat has been awesome so far. If you want something more "traditional" go wooden. But for the price, this thing's is as reliable as 'Ol reliable. I would've said Old Yeller, but we know where that story goes.
