I'm curious to hear some thoughts and opinions on exit speeds...
How much emphasis are you putting on this?
I've measured a few of my players recently off a tee with my pocket radar.
I've got an 04 girl that is exceptionally small in stature. She's 4'10 and 85 lbs... I Know, its not a typo. She was able to reach an exit speed of 59mph!!! (has never came close to hitting a dinger) While others who can hit the occasional bomb are getting numbers more like low to mid 50's. My dd however is the largest girl on the team, hits #4, tons of power, dingers are the usual for her... Her exit speeds average 65mph?
Some contributing factors.... "hotness" of bat, bat speed, overall player strength/power...
Is there a formula that translates mph into approx ball distance?
I saw a HIT-TRAX video that looked like a video game. It could calculate the angles, bat speed, ball speed, and exit speed then show on a screen the balls flight path and distance... looked amazing. Price is way too high for home use...
Any thoughts on a formula?
