Hi, James. A lower drop number for a baseball bat means it's a heavier bat; a higher number translates into a lighter bat. So, a lower drop number doesn't necessarily mean a better bat, but--depending on the player--a higher drop number could lead to more extra base hits and homeruns. Hope that helps.
Each side of each bumper will need a piece 62x12. If you must have the fabric in a single strip, then you'll need 62 of fabric at least 48 wide, so buy a minimum of 1 3/4 yards. If the fabric is narrower than 48, then you'll need 3.5 yards. If you want bumpers for the head and foot, you'll need a total of 4 additional pieces, headboard width + 2x12.

Depending on specific needs, some designs are better suited than others. They also differ in terms of build material and weight. As a starting point, the standard front factory bumper is an aluminum plate over the factory rails with plastic end caps and weighs 27 lbs (without the tow hooks). The rear is entirely made of plastic with the metal mounting plates and only weighs 15 lbs.
