I went to the Smokey Mountain Classic last year and noticed an amazing lack of follow through or full swing mechanics. What I observed was almost every batter whipping the bat to the apex of the swing then basically stopping the swing and lifting the bat. My conclusion was that they were "chopping" the ball on a downward path to create the spin that carries the ball. And believe me they were 350-370 mammoth shots...Am I correct in what I saw?
