To anybody who will help,

> I am 18 years old and was introduced to slowpitch softball this summer. My swing employs rotational mechanics and torque to the max. Due to this I can hit a ball further than most. The few who can hit it further are stronger than me. I know that you must have the mechanics down before you can go deep because there are muscle bound guys who can hit a lick. My question to you is once you have a perfect swing, is strength the only way to add distance to the ball? If this is so, how much difference does it make?

i can't quantify expected results but i can point out that the oakland a's revolutionized the concept of weigh training in major league baseball....point being that everything being equal, big strong guy hits ball farther than smaller weaker guy....
