Abstract
A warm-up bat with a closeable hollow chamber with granular weight material therein is provided to result in a practice ball bat with a distributed weight or bat-like feel. The bat is made in two sections. A handle section and a rigid tubular section. The tubular section is larger in diameter than the handle section and has a chamber therein. The handle section has one of its ends telescoped into one end of the tubular section and fastened therein; the other end of the handle section being engagable by a batters hands. The chamber of the tubular section is filled with a flowable weighting material such as sand and the other end of the tubular section is closed to retain the weighting material in the chamber.
