>>> If you are looking at angles, a more downward swing is the ideal hitting stroke. Kids that are taught to 'swing level' usually end up with an upward wing which is not ideal when you are looking at the objective: batting average. However, a swing angle more than 35-40 degrees is a problem. <<<

Hi John

Since the bat-head is launched from above the batter’s head and makes contact below the letters, there must always be a downward component in the swing plane. However, as I read your post, you seem to believe the bat should still be on a downward rather than upward angle in the contact zone. Have I interpreted your words correctly?
