How important is it to have a level swing

Posted by: Dave (NYTino20@aol.com) on Fri Jul 14 17:31:20 2006

Just curious how important it was to have a level swing. I have a uppercut because I am obsessed with HR's since I was a kid and now I still do the same thing and I am trying to kick the habit. Is it really true that if you have a level swing (even in slowpitch softball) that you will get backspin on the ball resulting in farther hit balls??
