Yes, As I just wrote to John Francis I should have written less than
1/10s when the situation is predictable.
Learning how you camera responds is important, and having a
sufficiently short shutterlag. I�m usually not interested i when the
next exposure comes, as it is too late anyway.

You shouldn't be reacting to a baseball pitch (or a bowler bowling in
cricket). You know where the ball is, and can predict where and when
the bat
and ball will make contact (if at all). Anybody with decent hand/eye
coordination should be able to get the shot.

fast enough for him. Hmmm.
I've said it before, and I'm sure I'll have to sy it again:
You can't rely on using the camera in machine-gun mode to
get a timed
shot - you have to time the shutter press yourself.
The advantage of a 5fps camera is that it is ready for the
next shot
in half the time a 2.5fps camera takes, so it is more likely to be
ready for the next shot.
I agree. A good and prepared photographer can react in 1/10 second.
To match that you need 10 pictures/second.
