>>> I believe that JJA's position was misrepresented. JJA never stated his position on whether or not F=mVV in calculating what percentage of the swing is accredited to CHP, and what is accredited to torque. What he did question isyour statement that half the batspeed comes from CHP, and the other from torque. I mean no disrespect, but JJA is contending that that half of the batspeed is 50 MPH gained from a CHP, and the other half is 50 MPH gained from torque, the total batspeed should be 100 MPH. These are the calculations that would result if one takes the latter statement literally.

Again, I am not trying to start fights. Rather, I am merely suggested that JJA has been misrepresented here. <<<

Hi BHL

BHL, I stated that about half of a batter’s bat speed is generate from the CHP and half from torque. I know enough about physics to understand that for a batter to generate a 100 mph bat speed, he would need to produce over 70 mph from his CHP alone and over 70 mph from torque alone.

JJA’s position has not been misrepresented. He has stated a number of times that if my test show that I can generate 45 to 50 mph from the CHP alone and 45 to 50 mph from just torque, then I should he able to swing 90 to 100 mph when applying both. That is not supported by f=mvv.
