I asked this in another thread but curious anyones thought. It may give me clarity on bat lag and pivot point thoughts.
Does the bat speed ever equal or get close to the speed of the hands during the swing. I thought i saw a zepp article on this but cannot find it.
The question is based on comparing a pivot point with your hands that the barrel turns around which is a rigid point. So just like thinking of a wheel where the farther in the wheel you go the slower it spins, the farther out, the more distance it has to travel and hence, faster. i think this would require stiff hands to hold the barrel out perpendicular to the forearms.
vs, starting with a your hands in a similar position that then starts to get the bat into a lag position after the initial turn (not keeping perpendicular) where the bat and the hands are essentially moving forward at the same rate, eventually snapping the wrists and the barrel accelerates to contact. Like the loose and oily i have heard in the past.
as i have tried to have my DD just pivot around ala tewks and others, i think that may be a good start to the swing but think the magic may happen just after that when the hands and the barrel match speeds then the barrel takes off and whips into impact.
This is all assuming the same essential bat path. thanks.
