Kirrill:

I have taken this way beyond my knowledge or comfort zone and cannot address your latest comments.

Much of what I have presented comes from the book that I referenced above by Robert Kemp Adair. He is presently Sterling Professor Emeritus of Physics at Yale University. You can find his contact information at http://www.yale.edu and using the search function for people on the home page.

Much of what you disagree with is cited in his book, including the comment that the resonant frequency of a baseball bat is related to its length and the thickness of the handle. He also points at that the centers of gravity, percussion and inertia are not the same and occur at different points along the length of a baseball bat.

BTW, Adair's book is available on the web for $1.00 plus shipping through this site http://www.abebooks.com
