Simply stated, following the hitting mechanics on this website will get you additional power. You may want to ask some of the other players on your team if they have a hitting instructor in your area that they liked, and take some individual hitting instruction. Let the hitting instructor know that you are trying to gain more power. If he knows his stuff, he should be able to help you.
