helloe roscoe!!

my good man... this entire site is about HOW TO!!! i asked you HOW to do it.. the objective is the subject... when you do not answer the question asked, that is called BEGGING THE QUESTION...
incidentally, the CONSENSUS CORRECT answer of MOST COACHES is to hit the ball on the INSIDE, regardless of which handed you are...which will cause an OUTWARD SPIN,which causes the ball to slice OUT AWAY to the opposite field... when you write above to hit the ball on the OUTSIDE if you are LH, the result will be to HOOK the ball back to RF.. when you hit the ball INSIDE, it will slice AWAY TO THE OPPOSITE FIELD... your grade is 50%. but 1 out of 2 ain't bad..
for one moment let your mind expand & imagine ...if you were to bias your stance to the opposite field, it becomes possible to hit the ball on the button or to the opposite side of the ball, and still go to the oppoisite field (ANYwhere to the opposite side of 2B)!!
i wonder what a student would think of you if you said "just hit the ball on the inside", but gave no actual nust-and-bolts instructions on how to do that... i think that guy would get lost in a big hurry..
and he would not be learning how to improve..
i love that you said keep it simple.. but you are not giving me any actual mechanics on HOW... FIRST WORD IN THE QUESTION- H O W.
not where. could you kind enough to tell us how... thank you for your exchange
