Legal or not.....

In the spirit of the rule, it is not a sledge hammer or some other such thing that creates more of a hazard. This is something designed as a weighted warm-up device that is decidedly bat-like.

I think I'll bring it up to the rules chairman, and I think I'll allow it until I hear otherwise, just like I did today.

Same here, we've seen these and not a problem.

Now if a coach complained about it, might have to seek a clarification, but I would allow it until I got the clarification.

Thanks

Quote: "If that thing were 33" and 30 oz., would you let a batter use it to hit?"

The OP said nothing about allowing batter to bring that "weighted bat" to the batter's box to hit? The issues was can it be used in the circle? No one is calling this a "bat" but a "weighted bat". No comparision to your dog tail...

I would allow, and not seek clarification. If the handle looks like a bat, and the other end is weighted, it's a weighted warmup bat.
