My favorite sports is softball. Something cool about softball is that there is a lot of hidden technology in it. A softball bat is a class 3 lever. When you hit the ball the batter is putting in the effort. The fulcrum point of the bat is towards the top middle of the bat and is where the bat curves. The load would be the ball because that is the form of mass coming at you at a high speed. When you swing the bat all of these components make the ball go the opposite way fast.

Hey Jaden! Well done. Just to clarify, the fulcrum of a bat is actually under the bat! If you think about it, the fulcrum is the pivot point, right? So the fulcrum of a bat isn’t even on the bat – it’s on a virtual point in the air. This pivot point is like the center of the circle that the bat makes when it swings. Does that make sense?
