OK, someone show mw where I am wrong in my thinking.I have been told that a 5 frames per sec (30 fps video) swing is a good swing, so I just decided to break down the numbers for myself & see what I come up with, & I come up with a little over 8 frames per sec to get the job done. here is the data I used:
50mph pitch=73.3 feet per second
pitch covers 40 feet in.54 sec
decision time =.27 sec (ball halfway to home plate)
30 fps video shoots 8 frames in .27sec
Now I understand that higher levels & faster pitching will make faster swing speed nessecary, but 50 mph seems like a reasonable ave. pitch speed for the level of ball I will be playing this year....B level 14u
What am I missing & forgetting here???
