most probably yes in a positive way.
No
the heiver the bat the harder it is to swing and hit the ball so a lighter bat will have more speed and power
Debatable
Bat speed in cricket is typically measured using specialized instruments like speed guns or radar guns. These devices calculate the speed at which the bat is moving when it makes contact with the ball. The faster the bat speed, the more power and force can be generated in the shot.
The Rangers Josh Hamilton with a bat speed of 110-115 mph.
The maximum speed in which a softball can come off the bat at in mph. (The bat's composition or structure is designed to limit the speed of the ball off the bat to 120mph)
Yes, the weight of a bat can affect hitting distance. Heavier bats can generate more power and distance but may sacrifice speed, while lighter bats offer more control and faster swing speed, which can impact hitting distance as well. It ultimately depends on the player's preference and abilities.
Yes,the material has an effect on the speed of the ball.Actually,the speed of metal bat is faster than wood .
it depends on the pitch speed and the batters swing.
Generally, the bat is placed to meet the ball and little or no energy is added at point of contact by the bat, so the speed would depend mostly on the speed of the pitch, and the angle the ball comes off the bat.
BPF is the Bat Performance Factor. When a bat is tested, it is fixed in a stationery position. A ball is launched at a high speed towards the barrel of the bat. When the ball bounces off of the bat, the speed is recorded to find out how much faster it goes when it comes off of the bat. That is how the BPF is calculated. If the ball comes off of the bat at the same speed, the BPF is 1.00 If the ball comes off of the bat 20% faster, the BPF is 1.20
It means that the ball must come off of the bat under a certain speed.
