Stand behind a chair with a small person sitting in it. Now reach down to the side of the chair and scoot it "targetward" with your right arm only. Then tell me you aren't using your feet. :)

I think you have a better chance of being "freakishly long" as a hitter than a swinger. Study the ESPN Remax Long Drive footage when you can. A lot of those 400 yard pops sure look like hits to me.
