Reply to "Torque the handle?"

The term 'handle torque' is a misnomer.

Torque is an external force applied to cause rotation.

One cannot applly torque to swing a bat although a batter could be spun with the application of force on the bat end.

This is a common misconception when the swing and bat speed are rationalized using the conservation of angular momentum.
