Getting confused again. I thought we had a great discussion about grip last week. First off, Jim's device sounds effective but I thought it promoted not using the muscle between the thumb and index finger.
And cshilt, if you are talking about increasing bat speed it makes sense to me but if I understand correctly the ball-bat collision lasts less than a millisecond and there is no "pushing" on the ball. The person could disappear the moment the bat connected to the ball, i.e. the grip at that point is meaningless.
Have you ever seen a bat go backwards at the point of contact? A little more resistance against that force equates to a little more power.
