Hi Mike

I just tried the (http://webpages.charter.net/nickkio/HandstoBall/Linear05.mpg) clip and it is still up. However, the (http://webpages.charter.net/nickkio/HandPath/) clips have been taken down. They were up when I made the post. I suppose Nick has his reasons for deleting them at this time.

The deleted clips were from our Instructional Video. The first showed how a circular force (CHP) applied at a single point causes the bat-head to accelerate in the swing plane. Some now refer to this as a “double-pendulum” effect.

The second clip shows that if the single point is accelerated in a straighter path (linear), there is little to no angular bat-head acceleration from a “whip” or a “double-pendulum” effect.

Note: I just called my Webmaster about having short video placed on the site to explain how torque applied at the handle and the path of the hands effect bat speed.
