Is it better to have your front foot on your toes or the ball of your foot. I've swung a bat doing this lately and when my feet are flat on the ground my swing is more level and a little more compact. When i swing with my front foot on the ball of my foot and stride, my hips turn more and my batspeed seems the littlest bit quicker. But also with this my swing isn't as level and compact, and i'm afriad of losing my balance a little. Which one would u reccomend.
Keith,
I think that your front foot heel hiting the ground is what initiates your hips coming around, (the release of the torque energy).Therefore, your foot is flat when you actually swing.
