Apparently I use it much more than others. I use it when I guess location/pitch correctly, or when I have a good count. If I'm winning by more than one, I use it freely with my power hitters.

I can't shave with my eyes closed, meaning each day I have to look at myself in the mirror and respect who I see.
I miss the old days of Operation Sports :(

Re: At what point do u use "power swing"?
Yup no check swinging is why I don't use it much.. But I did a fun season with the Twins and used it with Morneau and Crede.. Basically just with guys with high power. Although even when someone doesn't have high power, if you have solid contact and use power swing it hits the ball even more sharply.. It's big risk/reward.Comment

Don't use it anymore. Getting great games without it.Comment

Don't use it, never will. I don't need it, I hit enough homers, doubles, triples without it.Comment

Re: At what point do u use "power swing"?
Hitter's count only - actually got a nice game-tying double with 2 outs in the 9th with my RttS player on a power swing. It's more than possible to hit HR's in this game on a normal swing.
One thing I did find interesting - in RttS BP, the stat increases change slightly when you power swing as opposed to normal (less contact increase, more power), so it does have its uses, certainly.Comment

I use it when I want to hit an ugly grounder to short on a ball I would otherwise crush. =(Comment

0-2 count sometimes other than that I never do itComment

Re: At what point do u use "power swing"?
Oh lord...if I ever took power swings on 0-2 I'd K 20 times per game.
I guess it works if you're sure you can lay off the bad stuff (I'm sure you can russell), but I have to rely on my ability to foul pitches off to keep from K'ing all the time.
