Now that summer has rolled around I have had a lot more free-time than usual, so I have been hitting almost everyday. The strange thing I have noticed is that, regardless of the stretching or warm up I perform, my bat speed is never consistent. I might have 3 straight days where I'm at pretty close to my maximum, and then the next day I will feel like I'm swinging a 10-lb weight. I don't think it has anything to do with fatigue because I'm rarely tired or sore when I hit (which is usually in the afternoon). Any opinions on this? Is it just the nature of the human body or does someone know a way to solve the problem?

If your playing bat feels heavier on some days, take some swings with an even heavier bat, then your normal bat will feel lighter.
