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 many clips of major leaguers hitting home runs, including the home run derby in Las Vegas, and ALL of them when pulling the ball out of the park have the bathead ahead of the hands at impact, and NONE of them broke their bats. Show some clips proving your theory.....I would like to see them.

At 30 FPs few clips can show the precise moment of impact. Nothing to prove the laws of Physics have withstood the test of time.
