An efficient way to transfer input potential energy to the kinetic energy of a racket or bat was analyzed by using two coupled harmonic oscillators and the triple pendulum. We find the most efficient way to transfer energy based on the kinetic chain process. Using control parameters, such as the release times and the lengths and masses of the triple pendulum, we showed how to optimize the kinetic chain process. We also introduce a new method to get an efficient way to transfer initial energy to the kinetic energy of the third rod in the triple pendulum without a time delay, which is considered an essential part of a kinetic chain process.
