| May 10, 2011 big cat7 Men's 50 138 posts | hitting flaw After an amazing year last year ive had problems this year with my swing.Ive always hit alot of home runs and never had a problem getting the ball in the air.However this year i seem to be hitting down on everything and even though im hitting it hard for basehits, i cant seem to get anything into the air.My question is has anyone else had this problem and what did they do to cure it |

However, I had a stretch once of around 25 games without a dinger. It bothered me a lot, even though I was hitting over .800 for the stretch. In retrospect, I didn't change anything-just kept swinging as I always have and when the power returned, it was like 15 in 6 games or something like that. As long as you are hitting it hard, I wouldn't be too concerned. If you start popping up, that's different and may be mechanical. For me, it was don't overthink it! Trust your swing. If only we all had a swing like yours to trust! Respectfully, Your Albuquerque connection-Mark Weber |
| May 11, 2011 big cat7 Men's 50 138 posts | Thanks for the comments webbie,but how do you know that i have such a great swing?Ive been watching alot of videos on you tube and i may have come across something. I remembered a tip from mike macenko about if youre hitting alot of grounders bring your elbows in closer together and i realized that unknowingly my right elbow had gotten very high and separated from my body.On all the videos i watched all the good hitters had that right elbow tucked in close to the body.As soon as i can get out im going to try that and see if it works. |
