Bad. Ass.
 
Well its out of a pitching machine. The ball should generally be in the same spot near every time. I'll bet $1,000,000 this wasn't the 1st take.

There were 2 "practice throws" before he drew the sword. On the 3rd pitch he cut the ball
almost in the middle. 🙂

Let's see you do better. 😉

Well if you've ever gone to the batting cages, you really are timing you swing off the sound of the machine when the ball drops/loads. Trust me, in the fast cages you can't wait until the ball is thrown, you need to already be swinging when the you hear the familiar sound.

So, given he probably has seen/heard the machine before, he knew the timing down pretty well. Based on the platform he's standing on, they already new the general height of the ball as well.

I'm not saying I could do better. It's hard enough to hit a baseball at 100mph from 60.5ft away. But it's not like he just walked up and took a swing at this thing. Things are seemingly pretty well mapped out.

well
the only problem is that person also cuts a paint-ball
so lots of training to reach that level
and the ball is like 1cm in diameter and at higher speed
and still he cuts it

he is a very skilled with the sword
and even if they tell him now
the time to draw the sword and cut its so not there

it is below the time a human can register a change sound or picture

if you search youtube you will find many videos of him doing crazy things with the sowrd
 
Some of you guys haven't even figured out gift cards and you expect me to believe you can wield a sword better than this guy - HAW!
