Bat, lenght, weight v Speed

Posted by: Rudyard Vance (Rudyard@Vancees.com) on Wed Dec 11 18:54:22 2002

There must be a math formula on bat speed increase and decrease with bat lenght and weight. Problem: With force constant (the swing), what is the change in bat speed with diferent bats. Bat 34in. 31oz.; bat 34in. 29oz.; bat 33in. 30oz.; bat 32in. 29oz. One formula that comes to mind is F=MA (Force = mass times exceleration). With the Force constant and the mass decreasing the exceleration increases. But added to the mix is that the shorter the bat the slower the sweet spot travels. Any help on this concept.
