• Try to squeeze your knees into each other.
• Weight on inside balls of feet.
• Relax arms above the top of strike zone.
• Slight tilt at the waist.

• Don’t try to pull the ball! Focus on hitting a line drive, back up the middle of the hitting cage.
• Keep your head down throughout your entire swing.
• Try to hit the ball with backspin and watch the trajectory of the ball. If the ball tails it means your dropping the barrel head at contact, caused by a weak top-hand, hitting the high ball, or a weak a bottom-hand hitting the low ball.
  
• Stay balanced on your follow through. Falling off-balanced is caused from over-swinging and pulling off the baseball.
