  1. It's funny how low the exit velo was on the tennis balls too compared to pro men's tennis players too… who are in the 120 – 130 mph range typically, with some rare spikes up to 140-150 mph. I did have the pleasure of taking a few first serves from the #1 player in my state as a high schooler, and holy shit, nothing going from like average high schooler up to 100 mph + insane pro-level spin, which was probably the most difficult thing to handle. I couldn't do anything but watch it go by and with the spin, if you didn't get it on the rise off the ground, it'd be too high to reach…. and I had previously been playing baseball at a relatively high level, taking BP & 1on1 coaching with a former pro, and at the LL level, had regularly trained with a LL distance machine going at MLB level reaction timings & speeds.

  2. There’s an Irish woodworking YouTuber named Eion(Owen)Riorden who makes Hurley’s from scratch, maybe if you message him he’d make you a BatBros Hurley

  3. Just saw this. First, I am impressed with you hand eye co-ordination, I bet you could hit a tater swinging a pool cue. You might have tried out a hurling goalies stick, which is bigger and heavier and can hit the ball much farther and faster. Cheers.

  4. It would be interesting if you added squash rackets/squash balls and racquetball racquets/racquetballs to this comparison for speed & distance too! I'd like to know!

  5. Now mix things up and see what the best implement/ball combo is.

    I used to practice my swing in the backyard with racquetballs. It gave me a satisfying hit and was less likely to break a window if it went sideways. (Lived in the ‘burbs, lots of close houses.)
