When do you use the power swing?

[phenom1990]

I use it when I have a power hitter and it is less than 2 strikes usually unless I am in a just put the ball in play situation. I use it a lot in 2-0 and 3-0 counts; I find I get more doubles and triples when I use it. I was wondering why don't some people never use it? I understand the point about you can't check swing.

Nice to see that everyone has their own different system for the power swing. Thanks for sharing.

When I'm ahead in the count with a power hitter or when I'm positive it'll be a fastball down the middle. It's a thing of beauty when used properly.

Ahead in the count, or if im desperate to hit a homer. Usually with power guys. Last Game I hit three homers. One with X and two with Square

Never use it.

I use it with anybody that can hit about 15 HRs a season. Before 2 strikes I always use the power swing unless I have a pure contact hitter up.

I also use it with power hitters with less than two strikes on the count.

I only use it when I'm mad at the X button.
