Hitting out front

Science schmience, who needs it when we have visual anecdotals to "prove" our points? Lol....

Haha never seen that.

I was just trying to help coaches by stopping them from bringing heavy balls and boxing bags to practices and the park

I would also think that timing in hockey would be huge.

This is not straight up comparison.. there are many different things about hockey and baseball.. Ice vs grass, ball vs biscuit, skates vs cleats.. u get the picture. I was just talking about how the heavier or guy with more leverage can apply more pressure to the stick when it hits the ice just behind the puck causing more flex in the stick resulting a hard shot... as pattar points out, just not the same the same effect on baseball

Huh?

Going to try this one more time. When the ball hits the bat there are two types of waves created. Ones that travel radially (the hoop modes I showed e.g. the ones that causing the trampoline effect) and waves which travel along the bat like this:

In the bat analogy the hands are the location (the "boundary"_ where the wave splits in the above gif. In order for details of the boundary (grip strength and the mass on the other side of the hands e.g. the human holding it) to make any difference that wave that reverses direction has to reach the ball/bat contact position before the ball leaves the bat. However the waves (there are multiple) that travel along the length of the bat which have significant magnitude, (e.g. enough to provide enough energy back to the ball to have any effect) do not have high enough wave speeds (unlike the radial moving ones) to reach the ball/bat contact position before the ball leaves the bat.

Need some Pink Floyd please with these wave/pulsing illustrations.....

Huh?

Huh?

What I’m talking about has 0 to do with timing

Hello, hello , hello, is there anybody in there.

Feeling kind of mellow right now...

You were talking about a hockey slap shot. That has nothing to do with timing? I've never played a second of hockey, but at those speeds and dynamics timing and technique would be everything with the end result
