    1. Have a paralell stance a little farther than shoulder width.

    2. Make sure hands are lined up and your head is facing the pitcher.

    3. To load bring your hands back to your ear and step and swing in one motion make sure to pivet your back leg.

    4. Bring your hands to the ball and swing straight across. Then end your swing at your shoulder.

    Keep two hands on the bat.

    Tips

    Load when the pitcher breaks away his hands. (from the glove)

    Always stay balanced.

    You get your power from batt speed from your wrist you also get some from your quads so it is good to do strength and condidtioning exercises.

    Practice practice....100 swings a day off the tee.

    Hope this helped and good luck!
