> Yes, I have performed swing review analysis for a good number of slow pitch players. The swing mechanics exhibited by the best baseball hitters is the same mechanics exhibited by the top slow pitch players. Below is a post from the Archives I wrote on this topic.

> Welcome to the site. -- A few years ago I watched a softball game between a slow pitch all- star team and a team made up of major league baseball players. The baseball players were getting their butts stomped. When the score got to around 12 to 2, I decided to tape the game and see what the heck was going on. -- If my memory serves me correctly, the slow pitch team hit 16 home runs.
