I was never wise enough (especially in the physics department), but one equation always stuck out in my mind when it came to this idea.....

f=ma2 (squared)

And I was never really strong enough to use a heavier bat :D

I think I used a 31 inch 25 ounce bat.....or maybe 26 ounce.

Yes, swing speed is most important. As for the mass, usually the assumption is that it's only the mass around the barrel that matters, but when i see flex like that I begin to think we need to revisit the models.

i always used the lightest bat I could find, but I was a terrible hitter.

P.S. it's an impulsive force - so don't use F=MA^2

What do you guys (SFAnthem I know your answer) think of the theory that Tito and perhaps others are actually sock puppets ESPN fakes to add posts/traffic? He's so fucking crazy it might be true.

Gotcha, so if I'm reading you correctly, it's more how the mass is distributed amongst the bat (i.e. - you're thinking that maybe the mass concentrated only toward the barrel might not be the right way to look at it).

You and me both. I wasn't horrible in average, but I wasn't good either. Had zero power. Only hit 2 home runs my entire baseball career (which wasn't much anyway). Used to be an ok pitcher, but I had a late growth spurt, so my pitching days ended rather quickly. My fastball was most people's changeups.

In this instance, would it just be f=ma then gp? Please excuse my ignorance.....

Dammit gp you are a fucking gif artiste. Seriously. Can you make money doing this?

I'm sure someone probably is. Producing content that helps drive page views and ups goggle rankings is a business. Don't think it's worth doing it though, unless you live in india.
