Swing For the Fence - Ruin Your Mechanics

Posted by: Carlos M. () on Wed May 16 04:31:17 2012

That is definitely a myth.

One mental cue that I have when I'm hitting is "I'm gonna hit this MF'er as hard as I can."

But with that as my only cue, I tend to try to pull everything. And we know that bad things happen when you are pull-happy.

So what should my OTHER mental cue be??

"I'm going to the opposite field"
"I'm going up the middle"
"Relax"

I'm not really thrilled with any of those, but I'm open to them. (especially if Jack recommends one of them)

Thanks!
