80% Normal

5% power

I only use power when I'm behind or desperate.


I raised my power slider 2 clicks (I think) so big guys get their HR's with no power swing and regular guys still get one here and there while using regular swing.

The normal counts like mentioned before.

I have hit a couple hr's with it, but there are always like barely over the fence.

I started using the power swing about 75% of the time lately and my HRs and avg are up quite a bit. I've hit some absolute BOMBS with it. I've certainly noticed a difference in distance.

I'll quote myself and say this isn't true...

Its more like

95% Normal
2.5% contact
2.5% power

[dc634]

68% Normal
31.3% Contact
0.7 % Power

...totally random percentages and prolly off, but i use contact close to half the time, and very rarely use power...

NO! Power swing is terrible. It takes balls down the middle of the plate, and makes them pop-up. Normal swing gets it done, and I almost never use contact swing.

I use contact swing whenever I am down in the count 0-2 or 1-2. In this situation I try to protect the plate by swinging at anything close and contact swing helps me make contact and foul balls off. I would recommend using it in those counts.
