Hello fine group,

I've read all of 'em, seen the movies (TC dreadful but the films actually not bad) and wallowed happily in the Amazon series (thank you Jeff Bezos). Along with Hank Hill, Jack Reacher is one of my role models and I strive to follow his moral example, if not his violence.

Anyway, I come here to ask an obscure question about a passage in a book I'm trying to track down. Anyone remember a passage where Reacher goes rather granular about the science of hitting a baseball? I can't remember which book it was, but I really want to find it. (I'm a bad softball player and want to improve my swing.) He talks about bat speed, and how a lighter bat can actually improve your power, even if you're nine feet tall like Reacher. Physics!

If this rings a bell in anyone's Reacherish brain and y'all can point me to where that passage occurs, I'd be most grateful and would happily treat you to a slice of pie and a cup of coffee, black.
