They formed in 2003, and played their first gig not long after, at University of Surrey, Guildford, UK. The final line up was completed in 2004 after the band met bassist Jim McCarthey through various friends. The band released their EP Lost in Genre in the summer of 2005, before playing the side stage at Brighton's "Taste of Chaos" festival, alongside the likes of The Used, Killswitch Engage and Funeral For A Friend. In the same year Furthest Drive Home were featured on a special Drive-Thru Records/Pure Volume Compilation CD alongside Midtown, Gym Class Heroes and Homegrown with the song Future Full of Jive which was track listed as "Control Yourself".
In January 2007, the band signed to Hungry Kid Records and recorded their debut mini album, The Complete First Series at Ignition Studios in North London, with the mastering being completed at the world famous Abbey Road Studios.

They announced they were going on an 'indefinite hiatus' on the 18th of March 2009.

@Peter Carlson @SmarterEveryDay please listen to this guy. This was a deadly dangerous machine, and especially given the fact that 18 million people have watched this, I think you have a responsibility to acknowledge that the safety precautions here were not remotely adequate, and make sure you do some engineering on them next time. There was never a chance that your reaction time could have been quick enough to get out of the way, and I'm quite confident that the unsecured, improvised metal grating there would also not have been sufficient to prevent serious injury. Apart from that (major!) concern, this was a really great video, and a lot of fun to watch. But safety is a critical part of good engineering!!

As a former baseball player who’s hit a few homers in my day, the lift off angle of that shot was sweet. It wasn’t too high of a “pop up” tower shot, and not too level of a line drive where it had to fight gravitational pull travel closer to the ground, a beautiful 45 degree angle shot or so it looked like it. That was awesome!!

if you shoot the ball faster at the bat, it will actually gain less velocity, the throw speed is subtracted from the bat speed, not added.

Blahorga Slisk

@Sorrenz Z While I agree I couldn't help but dreaming up a way to explain how that would happen using just slightly tweaked and dubious physics. Sorry...

All it takes is the aluminium bats being deformed by hitting the ball, which could make them generate lift if the deformation was shaped the right way. The most unlikely part would be that both bats would have to get deformed similarly. Then you would have to dream up an explanation of how the axle could work loose and you would end up with a believable explanation for how the hats could take off for a flight of their own.

But yea, that would be way to much work for something as silly as this.

Antonio Caire

it would be so awesome if you guys could fly something with a mecanism like that

Davie Dood

My "theory" here was the material used as a stand. It vibrated so much even weighted down some. It's high speed, so any tiny wobble, and touches the bat will send that wobble into a wave that increases and either busts the bat, or breaks a bolt holding the bat.

I think the bat's were too close to that angled wood you had to give that upwards swing for the home run.

You have to somehow bolt that stand to the ground, or.. Hmm thick steel foundation on the ground for Weight so it doesn't wobble and move? I'm not an engineer sadly, but perhaps a fan / viewer can add onto what I'm trying to say? It makes sense in my head, I just have a difficult time expressing it at times.

When the first wooden bat broke, it was because the grain of the bat was not set correctly.
If a wooden bat was used, you should be able to get another 75 to 150 feet out of the ball.
Also, the speed of the aluminum bat might need to be adjusted so it doesn't absorb the inertia of the ball.

J Potter

Very amusing, but .. wouldn't it have been more smarter everyday to rig up a remotely controlled hopper to feed balls to the pitching machine? Putting someolne ikn the line of fire was nuts!

Jim Crawford

Electrical science is fascinating. Like how as voltage drops, the amps increases; which is why when the 60v 3-phase generator that is the alternator of a motorcycle dropped a phase, it dropped the voltage, kicked the amps into high gear and instantly roasted the regulator that was meant to bring the voltage down to 12v. The result was that I broke down.

Rafi Ben Avi

I think you missed an incredible amount of more distance because if you sped up the speed of the ball close to a 100mph, the ⚾️ would have gone much further...But cool 😎 video bro!!!

The fact that you needed a machine that was basically a helicopter to hit a home run further than Babe Ruth and Micky Mantle is a testament to those two men. And the third one, the AAA home run, props to your amazing 582 too.

I dunno, I heard babe Ruth was actually an attack helicopter but medicine wasnt advanced enough to catch it back then.

You need to team it up with the super-sonic baseball launcher
Meaning launch the ball from the super sonic baseball launcher then hit it with the super fast baseball bat

Best video ever guys. Totally dig your inventions.

Should add heavy metal disc under the bats for it to spin to increase the momentum on the rotating bats, less slowdown on impact, more velocity

I'm surprised these guys still have all their limbs after all their wild experiments and tinkering they've done these high speed tests!

Jeremy looks like the kinda guy you'd want in a zombie apocalypse to build crazy inventive ways to kill zombies for you.

These guys make me wish that A.) I was a lot more mechanically adept. And B.) that I had smarter friends.

... or just friends in general. 😐
