Cyrtomium falcatum. 1  Aptly named, Japanese holly fern produces fronds that do indeed resemble holly leaves with their glossy, deep green leathery appearance. 2  It needs moist but well-drained soil in a protected location to thrive. 3  It also makes for a good houseplant in climates where it isn't hardy.
A baseball bat is a third-class lever because the fulcrum is on the  end of one side, the effect force is in the middle, and the  resistant force, the load, is at the top.
A lighter bat may allow you to use a longer bat. The Drop is a common term for describing the weight of an aluminum bat. It is unique to aluminum bats as the weight of a wood bat varies somewhat within each bat. The drop simply means you take the length of the bat and subtract the drop to determine the weight. For Example: One bat is available in 32, 33 and 34. Therefore, a 32 would weigh 29 ounces, a 33 would weigh 30 ounces and so on. However, just like your driver is harder to hit than your 3 wood, a longer bat MAY be harder to hit than a shorter one depending on your age and your arm/ wrist strength.
