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 base is weighted, but it is still pretty lightweight. Unfortunately though it does not always stay up if there is a breeze blowing. Light breeze, it can - but a little stronger and it tends to fall over.

No, it is not weighted. I have a small cat and he still manages to knock it all over the place.

the base is not weighted. but the globe is stable. I usually pick it up in searching for information. It is of good quality, and the gimbal feature makes it much more useful.

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-

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.

It's a good sized box (23 in high x 11-1/2 wide and 4 " deep) but fairly light weight. There's no real assembly, the baseballs sit on the base, the red pole that holds the baseball for hitting, goes in the center hole. I suspect the bat has a place on the stand too, but I could never figure out where, so it's just leaning against whatever is nearby. I would have Amazon ship it directly to your other place...if you need it gift wrapped, they do that as well. Usually I'm shipping to someone that I'm comfortable asking someone else in the house, besides the person getting the gift, to wrap it when it comes!

The Ball feels like it has a more thick consistency, but isn't heavy. It stays inflated better than ones I have purchased from Target. I really don't feel like it is weighted. (I don't think it is heavy when picking it up)

I really don't know why they advertised it that way. My son used it with an aluminum bat and it worked just fine. The only thing we can think of is if you would hit the post with either bat you could damage the bat.

Yes. It is a lot sturdier than the photo looks. The bat is solid and so is the base. The balls are the only things that are a little soft - they could probably get dented by a foot. My 4 year old has played with it a lot and it has held up surprisingly well for the price.

We weighed the base and pitcher together and it weighed 9 1/2 lbs. The base alone is 7 lbs. It is very sturdy and does not move at all when in use

Hello, No the bat is 32" and 19 ounce's weight. The 29" is just the length of the handle so the bat must have a 5" barrell

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.

I use this on all of our teams mako's and it cause no damage to the bats nor the machine. the material the stick and ball are made of are a softer material than the little league balls are made of.

who is the other competition? Some times it takes up to two years for bats to use your house. This is a nice heavy one. I have one like it. Sandra

I am not sure. I have not weighted it. It just a very handy little hammer for me.

There is a bat symbol however, it is difficult to see because it is black. It is still an excellent piece!
