hitting the bottom half of the ball


Posted by: Bauer (Mattdogger1@aol.com) on Mon May 12 18:06:52 2003


I am a power hitter, but lately i have been having a great deal of trouble getting huge hits because i keep on top-spinning the ball. I will crush a ball and it will land in front of the left fielder when a kid a third of my strength will use backspin to send a ball sailing 350 feet. I recognize that i swing much like piazza and edmonds in that i come up at the ball and love to drive low pitches. The thing that makes this difficult for me is that i dont want to change my swing a lot since i still hit for great power some of the time. Does anyone have any tips for practicing hitting the bottom half of the ball or any idea for somthing i can do to not topspin it?
Thanks a lot
