I got a problem.

My best hits when I time it perfect and hit it square (maintain the L and the bottom hand pulling back) is still a hard pop up. Some of the pop ups are straight up but most of them are in between a pop up and a line drive. My favorite pitch is waist high and down. I have my swings on video so I can watch them and I see loading and THT and good box at contact - I am rotating around by axis. I am frustrated because my swing feels and looks good but I am not getting good results. Any help? Lisa V.

Video will tell the tale. But until then, consider that as your body turns, the bat has a tendency to want to pull out or pull the hands out. This causes the bat to end up below the intended intersection point. Work to keep your hands in more and see if that helps while you learn how to do a video...
