I have been having a problem with a lack of hitting the ball off the sweet spot. I work alot on my short swing because I know that it's important but for some reason I cannot hit the ball off the sweet spot of the bat. This is very frustrating because I'm working hard to get my swing in sync but I cannot figure this one out. Most of the time I hit the ball off the end of the bat whether it's down the middle or on the outside corner. The other times I just don't get the bat head out front enough to hit the inside pitch so I hit it off the handle. Is there a particular reason why I cannot get solid contact at the plate? What can I do to work on this? Anything will help. Thanks.

I purchased a personal pitcher pitching machine and a swift-stik for my son a few months back. Although his season was over before it came in I did notice that he is now able to consistantly make contact with the foam sweet spot on the swift-stik. I can't comment on whether it will carry over to hitting a baseball. - Tom Waz
