Physic's, the further the centre of the mass from the handle the heavier it will feel. You could add a grip as it will balance it a little better and also a bigger handle makes the bat feel lighter in the hand.

Perception, the wider grip of the hands fool the mind as the weight of the bat is spread over a larger area.
