>>> However, my polar inclanations and roots of questioning are validated by the example of centrifugal force.

Try this, grc. Swing the bat with a very light grip as fast as you can. Now, why doesn't the bat slip out of your hands while you are swinging it? It is because of thhe centrifugal force that you created. <<<

Hi BHl

You have stated that you think the CHP accounts for 99% of the bat speed and torque 1%. Our test showed the about 55 mph could be generated from the hand-path alone and 48 mph using only torque. The total swing 86 mph.

I am confused by your example using centrifugal force. Please give your definition of centrifugal and how it pertains to the bat staying in your hand with a loose grip.
