Charlie,
I think that maybe as a 'non-ballplayer' you're letting that keep you from
applying your engineer skills. " I don't know what else would account for the
body of the bat leading the handle." Possibly it would be better to think of it
this way. The handle of the bat is where the player applies the force to
accelerate it into the ball, but the handle is also how he de-accelerates the
bat and controls it through his follow through. When the Handle seperates from
the rest of the bat, there is nothing to brake/control the forces generated in
the swing thereby letting it accelerate out in front of the part still in his
grip. Newtons Laws in 'Motion' hee hee.

Aram,
Of course that's true and I didn't mean to say that he had
reacted to the failure of the bat. They do have to do something
to slow the bat down. I just looked at some videos of
swings, (There are a ton of them on the web) and I can't tell
looking at them when they begin to try to slow them down.
I don't know what else would account for the body of the
bat leading the handle. I'm an engineer, not a ballplayer. :-)
