A ground engaging tip for a seed boot attachment for depositing a seed within a furrow. An insulating or passivation layer can then be deposited on the gate lines and the transistors, so that column or data lines can be formed on the insulating layer. In addition, the bat speed at the point of impact with a baseball can be decreased by increasing the weight of the bat, preferably at its outer end and adjusting the balance point of the bat toward the outer end.
