I recently purchased the Final Arc II video. On that video it states than about 1/2 of your batspeed comes from the circular hand path and 1/2 from torque. I made a "torqueless" bat as shown in the video in order to separate hand path and from torque. I can get 60-65 mph batspeed using the torqueless bat into a heavy bag. However my batspeed using a real bat is only 80-85 mph. This means I'm getting 3/4 of my speed from the hand path and only 1/4 from torque. Is this within the normal range of proportion variability? Or should I be getting 120-130 mph total speed based on my torqueless bat speed?
