The swing mechanic, as exhibited by top professional baseball players, is due (in part) to relatively fast pitch speed.

If there is no swing time constraint, one should choose a greater rotational mechanic - one which takes longer to complete, but generates greater final batspeed.

Do you agree?

If not, do you say the best way to hit teeball is with the swing you have articulated?

(I maintain people may do this in preparation for game conditions - but if their game were to literally hit the ball off a tee, they would employ a longer rotational mechanic.)

Thanks,
Mike.
