>>> Repeated studies have shown that, at the point of contact, the hands are exerting very little force on the bat <<<

Hi BHL

I have most of the bat companies “bat/ball collision” test reports and have discussed their findings with a couple of them. I think you (like Adair) have completely misrepresented the test data from these bat companie's studies.

You state, “as batspeed increases, the hands are exerting very little force (or torque) on the bat.”

Please post the bat company study you are referring to, and point out where in their report you think it supports your statements
