>>> My wrist elongation explanation was an attempt to explain something that everyone could understand, but without being overly rigorous. The attempt was to point out that Jack's experiments certainly don't PROVE his contention that torque is being applied to the bat. Hopefully he has additional data, experiments, or analysis that cast further light on his hypothesis.<<<

Hi JJA

Are saying, that in the test I described, torque was not responsible for accelerating the bat head. If you are, please define the force applied at the handle that did generate the angular displacement.

JJA, we can discuss the mechanics of a full swing later. Right now, please address only the test.
