Hi Dave

You may be right and I am sure my mechanics are not perfect. However, when I swung the PathFinder with the swivel handle (no torque), my CHP developed bat speeds in the mid-forties. When I held swivel handle stationary with my right hand and pulled back on the knob with my left hand (torque - BHT), I also developed bat speeds in the mid-forties.

When I applied both CHP and BHT, I generated bat speeds in the upper sixties. Those figures are close to what you would expect f=mvv to compute. Therefore, I concluded that about 50% of my bat speed was generate from my CHP and about 50% from BHT.
