I don't know how I could supply a hitting video online. I can tell you I don't drop my bat head, I come straight to the ball most of the time. And I don't roll my top hand anymore. If that helps you any....Thank You

Danielle,

Just when you start to move your hands toward the ball your upper back arm should be against your side, elbow pointing straight down. So, if your hands are high, I am assuming you mean above your shoulders, and you go straight to the ball then you might not be doing this.

I would also guess that you are not starting your swing by turning your hips, again losing a lot of power. This is just an educated guess from watching a ton of tapes.

The most powerful part of the swing is just before the top hand rolls over the bottom hand. I am not sure how you stop this from happening but if you are not doing it I would guess you are losing a lot of power.

Another guess is that you hit a lot of ground balls that are not hit very hard. If your right handed they go to the left side if your left handed they go to the right side.
