My daughter consistently hits balls foul down the left field line (she is a right handed batter), but the balls she hits fair are usually weak grounders or pop-ups. In previous posting that I have read, you say....

"If the batters is pulling the ball foul to often, we normally think of it as a timing issue and advise the batter to let the ball get in deeper before initiating the swing. However, this advice does not always work because many times it is not solely a timing problem. Much of the problem is often rooted in the batter’s swing mechanics generating bat speed to late in the swing.""

I am confused, wouldn't generating bat speed late in the swing result is balls being hit more towards the right side of the field for a right handed batter???
