Remember. The longest home run hit by a baseball player is reported to be
634 *feet* (Mickey Mantle).
That's *feet*. On a good day, I can drive a golfball close to 300
*yards*. Or at least I could several years ago.

Something tells me though, that you couldn't hit a baseball 300 yds with a
driver. Even if you couldn't out drive a golf ball with a baseball bat, I'm
guessing that you could hit it way past 634 feet.

I'll give you a mulligan on that one. :)

You're on record as hating golf. Therefore, layoff the golfing
terms!

I've been waiting for the results of the golf club versus baseball bat
distance challenge.
I am not a golfer (much) but I *did* learn something about energy
equaling
mass times velocity squared.
My money is not on Tom on this one, mathematician, grunt and athlete
aside.

Thank you for your support. :)

I'll still willing to take the challenge, mass and velocity facts
beside the point.

The question is, how do we test it.
Go hit a golf ball with your bat. Let us know how far it went. Mike
Dobbyn
hit a 551 yard drive last year. http://tinyurl.com/2yskb9

If you can get over 300 yards, I'd say you did pretty good, given the
lack
of practice.

Only three hundred yards?

Piffle. :)

I realize the balls are different, however the baseball has the added
velocity of the pitch, combined with the velocity of the bat as it is
swung, so the energy transferred to the ball is the sum of the two. The
lowly golf ball is stationary, yet a decent golfer can drive it over 300
yards.
