[QUOTE="Manbearcat, post: 6183071, member: 6696971"] @[URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/member.php?95493-Tovec"][B]Tovec[/B][/URL] Unfortunately that isn't accurate. Generating golf club head speed and bat speed uses same principles. Honed technique + small muscle strength (fingers, hands, wrists, forearms, obliques, hips) = generating torque and minimizing the friction of atmospheric drag on the implement. That is what creates MPH and MPH is the "power" in the Power Attack scenario. There is much more to it with respect to baseball and golf (primarily conservation of energy and conservation of momentum; the collision occurring at a specific angle, compressing the ball and generating backspin which also dictates trajectory and length, and the collision being center of mass for the ball and sweet spot of bad/club head face) but the above is what is applicable to the conversation and the generation of power of a swung implement; conserve momentum, reduce friction. These are achieved through technique primarily and most often "swinging harder" is poison. Once technique is perfectly honed and small muscle strength has peaked, there is incremental gain in MPH through large muscle strength. [/QUOTE]
