Hi All:

I understand that some might argue that it is just as easy to hit the ball 340 feet to the opposite field as it is to hit 340 feet to the pull field. However, this logic is specious; while the ability to hit down both lines makes sense, pulling the ball enables the hitter to accumulate more batspeed when the ball is struck, resulting in harder hit balls.

P.S. Please note, though, if one style works for a person, then, by all means, stick with it. Personally, I am not trying push my theory on anyone, but show others a plausible alternative to the hit to all fields approaches that is so often forced upon players.
