We had to adjust and threw a few more rise balls and curves but it worked.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think we mixed a lot more curveballs than normal because they were either going after my drop or laying off of it and that's normally my go-to (pitch).
The two-piece ball I switched to spun too much. One shot would go the distance I thought it should, then the next one would fall short, and then the next one would go long.
You have to change the set, stay ahead of the curve.
Sometimes if you want to achieve something great, there will be curveballs. You just have to dodge them every once in a while.
It's not just enough to swing at the ball. You've got to loosen your girdle and really let the ball have it.
When I see three balls, I just swing at the middle one.
With shorter clubs, your ball position should be just back of middle, to really promote hitting the ball first on a downward strike.
My object is to stop the guy with the ball before he gains another inch.
I was kind of a slap hitter, trying to get base hits, hit line drives, stay below a certain trajectory with my ball.
You gotta keep the ball off the fat part of the bat.
