my son is 10 years old. off the tee and in the soft toss drills he seems to have a beautiful swing. he hits the ball hard and perfectly square. when the ball is being pitched to him by machine or actual pitcher he seems to chop at the ball from the top of shoulder down to the ground as if he is hitting in self defense and the ball does seem to go very far or hard off his bat. how do i solve this problem so that he will start hitting the ball hard and square when the ball ist pitched to him.

It just takes time. I have a person on my baseball team that does it too, all it takes is proper teaching, time and repitition on the pitch
good question.
