Hi Ric, This would be true if the ball is capable of storing the kinetic energy from the throw as if it were a super ball. In practise I think there would be very little of that in a "hard ball" At 06:31 PM 29/08/2004 +0100, you wrote: >Don wrote: > >>Hi Rick, >> >>Do I understand you to be saying a "fast ball" will go "farther" than a >>"slow pitch" when hit with the same kinetic energy transfered from a bat? >> >> >The ball will react from the standpoint of the total sum of energy >involved in the collision between the ball and bat.
