Hunting for the Sweet Spot by a Seesaw Model
A seesaw model was proposed to hunt for the sweet spot on a baseball bat. After analyzing the vibration of the bat and the ball, a basic vibration model was abstracted to simulate the interaction of the bat and the ball, which simplifies the vibration of the bat and the ball into two components, one is a seesaw part, whose pivot is the sweet spot of the bat, the other is the source of the vibrator (SOC). The model demonstrate that the sweet spot is not at the end of the bat while is a sweet zone close to the end of the bat and also illustrates that corking in the head of the bat will decrease that area of the sweet zone while corking in the end of the bat will increase the area of the sweet zone. The model shows that the area of the sweet zone is increased if the material of the bat is metal compared to solid wooden bat.
