Hi JACK,
> I'm looking forward to talking with you in regards to certain issues pertaining to the swing plane.I just have a few questions that i 'm sure you can shade some light on.I would like you to explain what type of swing plane would you advise a hitter that really can't drive the ball out of the park?Would you promote this type of hitter to focuse on a slight uppercut?I would think this would produce more fly balls that could be caught.I would think that this type of hitter would be better at approaching the swing to level off ,this would produce line drives and ground balls.I'm confused on this subject because i don't here a lot about these types of hitters being important here on this web site.I think the goal is to make solid contact whether you approach the swing leveling out or slightly up do you agree?I ask you,if the ultimate batting tee teaches a hitter to practice both types of swings wouldn't this be a useful device?

You're awfully worried about fly balls. Yet, you teach a swing that results in a very high percentage of ground balls. Which is exactly what pitchers want........go figure.
