DO BASEBALLS BEND WHEN HIT? - Slow Motion

DBat IG: @dbat_tyler

Do baseballs bend when they're hit with a bat? Today I use my slow motion camera to find out! High speed photography is quickly becoming my favorite kind of video. It's an amazing tool for capturing science experiments.

"I'm going to walk around in a pit of rattlesnakes. They are not allowed to strike me. Rattling their tails is frowned upon." I know, this sounds just as stupid as "don't hit the ball into my lights or my camera." Come on dude, there are some things in life that no one has control over. If you don't want your expensive equipment to get broken, leave them in a box, on the floor, in the basement closet of your parents' mid-western house. (or aunt and uncle, brother, cousin or who-ever). Don't put things at risk if you cannot afford the costs. It is stupid to even ask.

WOW! I was more fascinated with the bat flexing than the ball!
Excellent!! (Sorry about your phone.)

Wow, that was incredible, Chris! The amount of compression should be since the a cork base and rubber materials are used it would compress and rebound, your camera did a great job of proving this! Thanks, Chris, Nicely Done!

Is was fooling around with that last comment. Good work Chris!!!

[barryhuizing]

That was awesome! Thank you for sharing!

a bat has an round impact area on the cylindrical surface. the round impact area has a width along the central axis of the bat. the impact area should not meet the central plane (equatorial plane) of the ball. rather the impact area should meet a slightly lower side of the central plane. because hitting the lower side of the ball causes the ball fly at a large angle to the ground. i hope you establish where the slightly lower lies.

You ever just have a random thought. And then you think to search it up. Here that is

The baseball ⚾️ was neat. Just think what a Pro would look like. Maybe a golf 🏌️ club flex & hit ball.
Always looking for something from you. Thanks for you work & videos.
Hope you & family have Happy Easter 🐇🐣.
Thanks Wizbang99 / Ken
