I'm going to have to say, yes the bat was broken.

We Launched it across a field into the back of a concrete wall just to see what would happen. Turned out the bat launched far more effectively after the end had broken off, as the inside of the bat was hollow, and allowed for a sort of "rocket" effect.

what's the wall thicknesss?
