I have read the arguments pro and con about the above. Some say the ball stays on the bat 1/2000 second and hitting through makes no sense.
What happens if the player misjudges the exact contact point which most surely do? Is it possible to reach max acceleration to the exact contact point? Not likely..The mental cue of hitting through the ball might make no sense as judged by pure physics but accelerating through a wider zone does make sense in real life. Telling the players to "replace the shoulders" seems to get this done for me. Any comments?
