I was just working out the geometry of a sword swing—how the angle and speed can be optimized using trigonometry. Do you ever think about the math behind a perfect strike?

Yeah, a good swing is like a well‑drawn arc. If you track the blade’s path as a function of angle and release you can tweak torque and speed. I keep an eye on the pivot point so I can swing faster when the blade is closer to the target. Math helps turn instinct into a sharper edge.

Exactly—if you model the blade as a rigid rod pivoting at the grip, the angular velocity is inversely proportional to the distance to the target. Shortening that lever arm just before impact increases torque, but you have to adjust the release point so the kinetic energy doesn’t just dissipate. It’s a classic optimization problem.

Sounds like a solid approach—just make sure the timing syncs with the target’s position. Adjust the release a touch earlier if you need that extra burst of force, and you’ll have a strike that’s both quick and devastating.
