Discussion: TIRED of READING the INFIGHTING

Boys just like to have fun. Have fun. Nice to see that old men just want to bicker. If, I stated, that when a batter starts their swing, the batter does not see the ball the last 12 to 15 ft.?
Also, there is not enough time for the eyes & brain to "down load" this in coming data. The same is true when a ball is batter back to a pitcher or infielder.

Since a batter in SLOW PITCH softball, has a ball thossed, about 23 to 26 MPH @ that batter. A pitcher has a ball traveling any where from 40 MPH to over 110 MPH, hit back @ that pitcher.

Pitchers , Infielders, & Batters, do not see a softball in the last 12' to 15'; or is it that the brain can not process data @ close distance?

This might be true when the ball is crossing through your field of vision. But coming at directly at you I wouldn't think it is the case.

You are trying to make an analogy to a baseball hitter tracking a pitch, moving fast, and a smaller ball at that. Just speaking for me, I just don't lose sight of the ball. Doesn't mean I get to them all, but have yet to fail to see one.

Hopefully, a person with some knowlodge will answer. This processing of data is applied to more than Baseball or sports.

I don't see that, in slow pitch, the batter would lose sight of the ball relative to processing. I can see how it's possible for a hard hit ball at an infielder the ball hits the glove before the "processing/tracking" of the ball is complete reaction wise as related to the speed of the ball.

If poor lighting and or the sun is in front of the batter could effect end results. Just like the other players with these in their eyes.

4X4: If, it take .111 of a second for the eyes to send the message to the brain. Then it takes .299 of a second for the brain to send back to hands, legs, arms, eyes to get a reaction. Let us call this movement. O.K.

MATH: .111 of a second + .299 of a second= .40 of a second. This would be true if, older men were still capitable of the .40 of a second, for reaction.

A slow pitch softball thossed is traveling @ 23 MPH to 26 MPH. This means that in one second, a softball will have traveled 33.73 ft to 38.13 ft in a second. At 23 MPH, a softball will travel 50 ft in 1 1/2 second. A softball thossed @ 26 MPH, will travel 50 ft in 1.31 seconds.

The last 12 ft or so, the eyes, brain, etc will not process. A batter is aiming @ a point in space.

Maybe you are, but in the real world not the rest of us.

Here’s something for you to process. These are the dictionary’s definition as to timing and mechanic.

Maddog, Softballer, Hi-jacker, Taits, 4x4, let’s see how he denies these facts.
1.Sports. The control of the speed of a stroke, blow, etc., in order that it may reach its maximum at the proper moment.
2.The selecting of the best time or speed for doing something in order to achieve the desired or maximum result: I worked on my timing to increase the distance of the hit ball.
3.An act or instance of observing and recording the elapsed time of an act, contest, process, etc.
Applied mechanics, the principles of abstract mechanics applied to human art; also, the practical application of the laws of matter and motion to the construction of machines and structures of all kinds.
Motion: The ability or power to move mo•tion (mô'shən)
1.The act or process of changing position or place.
2.The manner in which the body or a body part moves.

Consistent effort requires timing. Learning to perform a task is mecahnic.
