SAMPLE EMAIL:

Dear Hit Doctor,
I have a problem hitting the ball off the handle against
faster pitching and pulling a lot of balls foul against
slower pitchers. Can the Hit Doctor please help?
Thanks, T.H.

Dear T.H.,
Don't despair. Getting jammed and pulling the ball foul
are two symptons of a common problem resulting from
a long, round swing. Your swing allows you to get
around on the slower pitchers, but the harder throwers
"get in" on your hands. The object is to shorten your
swing by attempting to "stay inside of the ball". You
need to refer to Drills to Correct a long swing in the Drills
Index
and study the tips and "Coaching Cues". Select
"double tee, inside-out " and work on this drill daily until
you can stay inside the ball.
