at setpro.com paul observed that you can swing a bat one-handed ALMOST , if not AS fast as by swinging the bat both-handed......and over the years i have made similar observations.........let's just suppose that you could hold a bat (one-handed) tight enough that you don't have to worry about the bat being knocked loose when bat strikes ball.....you could probably have one-handed batspeed of 90-95 % of two-handed bat speed......but yet the ball will travel only about 70 % as far using one hand rather than two......so....it seems there is ANOTHER FORCE AT WORK BESIDES BATSPEED.......WHAT IS THAT FORCE?.........................respectfully, grc........
