Hi Mark

Welcome to the site. – You stated, “Both of them have awesome "Bat Lag" and release(d) the bat head at the correct time to produce maximum bat speed at the point of impact. If you think for a second that it doesn't take powerful, quick, explosive hands and wrists to explode the bat head through the ball, your mistaken.”

I need to clarify a couple points in order for me to understand the importance you place “Bat Lag” and the correct time to “release” the bat-head. –

(1) What constitutes an awesome "Bat Lag" over a mediocre lag position.
(2) Please explain what you mean by “the correct time to “release” the bat-head.” I am probably misinterpreting your meaning, but it sounds like you would restrict the acceleration of bat-head until it reaches the lag position.
