what is it in his swing that allows him to hit every ball fair and never pull it foul? This year I've been hitting too many foul balls down the line that should be hits. Also, what is a possible flaw I could have if I'm popping up a lot to the opposite field? Thank You

<, I think what Bonds does that allows him to keep the ball fair is he hits the inside pitch further back and draws his hands in for tighter hand path[does not go out to get the ball]this allows the angle of ball off the bat to stay fair.As donny mentioned the hips start 1st.I have worked alot on this with tee work over the years and found that it works.
