And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms.

So? Look at the picture. Scabbard and hilt are in line with the pitching machine, all he has to do is draw and it's an automatic hit.

It's like the tatami mat slice. Ooooooo, so haaaaard to slash through a rolled mat. Actually, no, it isn't. And you don't need an especially sharp sword to do it with. Just cut on a downward angle while aiming 2 feet down and to the left of the mat.
More like a snowball. Zero resistance or pushback when the sword hit it. Anything harder than butter, even if the sword was razor-sharp, and one-handing it would have shown some bounce.
It is a cool shot. How many tries did it take??
