"What I would propose is that to minimize timing error there needs to be an optimal combination of the path of the bathead being as short as possible (center of mass of bat should displace as little as possible from moment it leaves arc of handpath until contact)."




"A" (leaving arc of handpath) to "C" (contact), tom?
What about "B" (pitch plane)?

"A" to "B" is shorter, therefore can be quicker, and gives us greater odds for timing contact.
