>>> I've done some experimentation on my swing the last month,and I had this casting problem ever since i started batting with an elevated back elbow, so then i decided to hold the bat horizontal while keeping my back elbow against my side and it helped keep me from casting, i guess it is sort of like knoblauch after i use tht to pull it back horizontal, and after i do my inward turn, im a right handed hitter, the barrel of my bat is pointed at the 3rd base dugout, I think you should try this style to see if it works for you, <<<

Hi Jeff F

What do you think you were doing while lowering your elbow and bat that led to your casting problem.
