I think it's pretty simple... All things being equal - ie same willow properties, same pressing and same profile hitting a ball at the same timing with the same bat speed - the heavier bat will hit the ball further. It's simple physics!

But all those things are never equal. So use what feels "right" in terms of pickup, pings well for you and suits your style of play.

I always think in terms of depth of willow behind the impact area. That takes out the weight and density argument, X amount of force on 60mm thickness will be far better than X amount of force on 35mm.
So, doesn't matter about how heavy your bat is, use the middle
