Mike,

My swing does the same thing. Sometimes I hit the ball and my back foot comes completely off the ground. (but I always stay balanced in my swing) What you're talking about is some very powerful rotationsl forces in the legs (and upper body). I have two words for you: Tee work. You should hit whiffle balls off of the tee and keep hitting them until you are able to make the ball jump off the bat with knuckle ball spin. Go to a field and hit off a tee with baseballs (hit against the field) Tee work, soft toss and live throwing about a 10000000x will make you a good hitter if you do it enough. Remember, Ted Williams once said that he hit until the blisters bleed... Perfect Practice Makes Perfect!!!
