[@Voltechs]

@@nintendo_pirate it very well could be, but I think there are more friendly/humble ways to redirect that. Saying things like “we’re both super smart” and moving on, but it seems like he almost likes lingering on the topic and delays his eventual response of like “well, I spend a lot of time with the bat” or whatever. It’s a social dance where you’re supposed to redirect (in American culture, anyway) the overt compliment and focus on something else. (IMO)

[@TimnParks]

@@Voltechs I've actually been watching a lot of Shane's videos, and he's got a pretty interesting dry humor to him. One of the big things I've noticed him highlight is the stupid stuff he does. The comment about spending more time with the bat is exactly that to him. He's obsessed about the design of it, what the output will be, and what he's going to have to reinforce to make it work. The him knowing the speed that the ball is coming off is entirely that obsession, and the many redesigns that this project has gone through with him (This video features a late edition of V3 BTW).

[@Ben-co3ye]

11:36 You can apply that same concept to trying to jump as high as possible on a trampoline. You want to to straighten our your legs at the same time that the trampoline fabric straightens out to go higher on your jump.

[@soymoder]

It’s like you want each component to hit max velocity at the same time. Elasticity adds delay. So one way syncing can be accomplished by matching elasticity. This is always how I’ve thought about projectile biomechanics. For any swing or throw, you want your shoulders, upper arms, forearms, and wrists to all hit max velocity right at the point of contact (assuming adequate control). It’s like a whip. This is also ideally at the point of full extension, which is why a clean follow-through is important.

[@alanhersch4617]

This is a really intuitive and relatable way to explain this. Good job. :)

[@justaguy6100]

Full disclosure, I found Shane's channel on my own with this particular video, and I'm hooked already. I've been a fan of yours for some time too. This collaboration is REALLY good, it's great of you to bring your equipment on board to help get this stuff better.

[@shaneducholke364]

So glad you did a collab with Shane, he does some really cool stuff. Your boisterous personality and his dry wit are a great combo. I see three hurdles you need to overcome. 1) consistent contact 2) consistent launch angle 3) backspin For consistent contact, you need to make the plate flat, not curved, and you need it at least 30% higher than the ball diameter For consistent loft, you need to habe that plate at an angle so you only need to make a level swing For back spin you need to have some sort of groove with edges at an angle to bite on to the ball. I am far from an engineer and being dyslexic, I don't do well with large formulas so the launch angle and spin are things that you would have to test out and those would be dictated by speed. With a golf driver, a ball speed of 200 mph a good launch angle and spin combo is about 10 deg and 2000 rpm for the best distance. This will be different for a baseball based on seams verses threads, but probably in the ballpark (intended😉) I would guess that you could easily hit over 800' by improving launch and spin conditions. Also, paint your ball so it is easier to find.

Destin, Shane, Huge fan of both your humble intelligence, humor, and entertainment. Awesome to see you come together around baseball. Now Shane, I'll think you agree that while you can engineer with the best of them, maybe you guys get one of the Trash Pandas players to capture better contact, launch angle, exit velo, etc from a professional hitter. Or heck, get Bonds or Griffey, Jr or something. Then see if you guys can build a Mad Batter & a bat that can hit a ball from the supersonic canon.
