Okay, so you may not play softball like I do or follow baseball and therefore may not care about bat speed. However, I found this web page (http://www.batspeed.com/research10.html) explaining some of the physical principles of powerful hitting very interesting. Plan to test them out in my game tonight. The image above shows the forces exerted by average hitters. The second frame shows forces exerted by great hitters. Great hitters don't just move the bat in a straight line through the hitting plane; they also use their hands to enact a dual pendulum effect on the bat. Read the site for more info.
