Re: Re: Re: Re: Mass of Batter Question .

For Me trying to figure out the technique and science of the swing and what people think about it IS fun. I figure the more you know about what your swing should be, the better you can train. The "grip it and rip it " approach works for some people . But very few people have perfect athletic instincts.

By the way, I wasn't saying anybody "should" wear weights while batting. I was really trying to find out if anyone could show that a batters weight means any thing at the POINT OF CONTACT. I don't happen to think it does. Of course, in the real world, bigger athletes "usually" have more power and can accelerate a bat to a higher speed , but that's not what I'm asking about.

Another way of saying my point would be :
Once the bat is moving at full speed , the size of the person holding it doesn't matter anymore.
