Effect of a bat on a softball

This is a picture that I bought from an action photography company at one of DD's games this weekend, so I am not taking credit for this shot. They were able to capture the exact moment of contact and when I saw the picture, I said, "That's worth the money right there!"

Ball ended up as a double in left center field, and yes, I know there are flaws in her swing, but she did hit the ball hard (as you can see from the picture).

That is the best point of contact pic I have ever seen.

LOL!! Yeah, she was more concerned about her nails than her game.

I'm actually not sure. It's not her bat... she's been borrowing a bat from a teammate for the last few weeks. I know that it is a Halo Light and it sure sounds like a composite when she hits with it. I'm sure someone else on here with more knowledge can provide a better answer.

Yes, the pink Halo light is a composite.

I wonder how much of that is ball and how much is bat?
Note the flex of the bat - it sure doesn't look straight at this exact moment in time...

Cool shot!
Being from NorCal, what do I know anyway???
