    Hey, not bad. Out of a dozen or so swings, most were in the .24-.32 range, but I did legitimately get a .17 and two swings later a .16. I also got a .07 on my third swing, but that was pure guesswork, of course...just after was the "I think you swung too soon, Sparky!" result.

    I managed a .09. My average was probably around .17-.18, though.

    .08, seemed like luck though.

    I was consistently getting .18, .19, .18, ....you get the idea.

    Not too bad with .08 my best and a .45 my first time but other than that I had 7 hits in 10 tries. Of course clicking ones finger and getting a bat around on a pitch are a bit different plus throw in the factors pointed out by filihok, we might a different story.

    I averaged .2 seconds and got hits on all my tries. I can actually hit a 90MPH fastball on the field though

    I got 0.02 seconds on my fifth try. But I was just anticipating it.
    My best without anticipating was 0.11.
    I'm usually around 0.2 though.
