Analog flick

[Foldzy]

Does anyone have specifics on how this works. I'm a zone hitter and I really like the feel and I've been making better contact, but I haven't been generating much power. I've noticed you can flick it inside or out, I'm assuming you want to do this with inside/outside pitches but I'm not entirely sure. Some confirmation would give me peace of mind

You pull back, and then push forward, for a power swing. Flicking up is a normal swing. Left/right is a contact swing.

You pull back (stride) for a power swing. Flicking up is a normal swing. Left/right is a contact swing.

Oh ok thanks so if stride is off their is no power swing?

No if you chose flick over stride, a power swing is pulling back and pushing the right stick forward.

OK great thanks for clearing that up for me, makes sense why I haven't been hitting for power then

Using a power swing doesn't guarantee a power hit. There's a section of the in-game Strategy guide that gives a decent explanation of when to use contact and power swings.

Just start up a game and hit the pause menu and you'll find the strategy guide there.

No I know, I'm used to using the 3 buttons so I have a good idea when to use each swing for each player I just didn't know the details with analog. Thanks for your help... and it's good to know about the strategy guide I've really mainly played online I didn't know this existed

Re: Analog flick

I recently switched to the flick method. I like it, just feels more authentic imo. Can get painful with excessive playing though...

Re: Analog flick

Can you pre-load it before the pitch or does it have to be done after the pitch is thrown?

Analog flick

It's my first year using analog. I am using flick I will say this I am generating more power using it than I ever did with directional. I use normal swing about 95% of the time.

Re: Analog flick

For those of you using flick, don't even bother with the contact swing in this method..

Unless you literally want to make contact with a ball that's a foot and a half off the plate, it's almost useless if you want to try and use it for anything in or around the strike zone.

I haven't used it this year, so maybe they've tweaked it, but when you press straight left or right on the analog stick the pci is placed as far outside of the strike zone as the game will allow.

Yes you can preload during windup. I find the earlier I preload the more concentrated I can be reading the pitch and swing with good timing

Re: Analog flick

I wish contact was a different mechanic bc it just feel unnatural to push the stick left or right. You should be able to press 0 still like stride timing allows.
