mb, If you have a bunch of clips, look them over and you will find that the bathead is in front of the hands on pulled balls, even with the hands on balls hit to center and a little behind on balls hit the other way. Don't really care about what physics says, but I do enjoy looking at the 150 or so clips that I have of big leaguers taking big league swings. 60 frames per second and stopping the swing at impact.....not little grounders to the shortstop, but balls ripped to all parts of the park. More later.....

I have seen home runs with broken bats. Does that mean the hitter should use a broken bat?? Once the bathead moves ahead of the hands the hitter has lost his bathead lag. Lag is his only defense against the mass of the baseballs effect upon the bat.
