> when i hit even batting practice pitching i get great loft and power to center field. however when it comes to pulling a pitch i cannot get the ball in the air what soever. just ground balls or balls just spinning way foul. ultimatley its like i dont get any extension or something and i just cant drive it with loft. what do i do or what drills do i work on?
