Cool thanks man.
I think that backward loading and turning on the rear leg is what I was missing. I was swinging (and by swinging I mean "SWINGING") a lot more more like my golf swing.
I used to be a better hitter a few years ago when I played more but think I used to lift my front foot off the ground and lean back a bit (like you say) before stepping down with my front foot and swinging forward.
Lately I haven't felt like I've got that steady front leg to brace myself into. My swing kind of feels like the equivalent of coming over the top in golf. Feels like: swinging too far left (and I'm pulling everything off), not much lag, back does not face the target for long enough, head does not stay far enough back, unstable left leg through and past impact.
This should help.
I've got a game tonight...I'll see how this stuff works.
I need to fix something though because I've been hitting horribly...and it's just softball beerleagues for god sakes.
