I know that the times when I swing about 60% (this is into a practice net in the back yard) I have better success at staying on the ball to impact. It's when I try to turn up the power to the swing that I start raising up off the ball. I'm definitely not a long hitter and am trying to get the most out of what I do have in the power department. |
after reading this post I am now about 99.99 percent sure. Key things that lead me to believe this. when someone who swing over the top swings easy then their path is not as pronounced, which enables them to keep their head on the ball better, but as soon as they jump on it, the really come over the top, which pulls the head up.
not a long hitter, another big clue. players who have a sound swing path, in my estimation, average 30+ yards further then players with a bad path. a sound path produces good contact, and that equates to distance. go hit some balls into the practice net at 100% effort, because your true swing is what happens when you swing all out, and tell me where the divot points
