Embodiment Construction

[0026] The exemplary embodiments describe a method and system, including a software analysis program and process for measuring batted ball performance. The batted ball performance can be determined from measuring the batted ball speed, batted ball elevation and azimuth impact points, bat swing speed, and the like. The bat can be constructed from any suitable material, weight or have any suitable moment of inertia, and the like. The batted ball speed can be a function of the bat material, weight, player's ability to swing the bat, and the like. The bat swing speed can be a function of the player's swing mechanics, strength, bat characteristics, and the like. To normalize the player-bat interface, a number of swings at a ball placed on a tee, and the like, that the player can focus on and strike can be performed. Each batted ball can be measured for batted ball performance. Some of the test data can be averaged and some can be used as independent measurements. For example, measurement...
