What the hell? I'm not talking about hitting down or up on the ball, I'm saying he's hitting the top of the ball. That creates top spin, not back spin.

And no that isnt off the end of the bat. Thats right on the edge of the sweet spot. Depite popular belief the sweet spot is NOT in the middle of the barrel.

Actually, many people have it in them that the sweet spot is somewhere close to the end of the bat, but not quite at the edge of the bat. I know exactly where it is, and you're right that it's just off the sweet spot (and by "just" I mean it's half a ball's diameter off the sweet spot), but off the sweet spot means either off the handle or off the end, and it's off the end.

Look at the picture. I will add words since pictures arent enough for you.

The bat is obviously in a lag position which gives a deceiving angle ( which also generates power and bat speed through the zone but I guess you knew that since you know everything *cough* ). We see that the bat has NOT contacted the ball yet and from that its clear to see that he would NOT hit on top of the ball but would be swinging down creating backspin causing either a line drive or a mammoth HR ( Rollins is known to hit some big flys for a little man ).

Looking at the picture tells me that the batter most likely hit the ball to CF / RC and it will be hit hard.

Next.

I don't know why either of you are arguing such a point because with 2K, that ball could go right through the bat.

This is a screenshot thread. You want to talk bat physics? Do it in the appropriate forum. Thanks.

I actually think the colors look appropriate.

Good post.

There has to be something up with their marketing/media group, because the colors are never consistent from one screenshot to the next video.

Some would say it could be the lighting, but I wouldn't be too sure, again, pointing to NBA 2k10 as my example...
