ive been trying your techniques for a while and bought the video but I am still not hitting the ball consistently hard. I will send you in my video in a week or so but i was wondering where the hands should start at launch. I know the hitman and he tells me backspin is good. To get backspin you have to swing one or more degrees below the ball. Yesterday I hit my first homerun and it seemed as it just sailed, not extreme backspin but just enough as to which I hit it solidly and also got it to carry. Today it seemed as my shoulders were working wonders but i kept getting topspin and the farthest i could hit it would be about 225 ft, but coming to a rapid stop after that. It didnt seem to matter how hard i hit it but it always just died after going a fair distance. Do you want backspin or to swing exactly level with the ball? Thanks
