Re: Zone Hitting

One of the tips I have been using from Cardinalbird is going into the bat control mode in batting practice. It shows you where the pitch location will be and it has helped me to get better with zone hitting. I used to be absolutely horrible at it. Now I am just ok.

As far as where the PCI is, in last years version I would move the PCI to the ball but the post swing showed my PCI in the middle most of the time. So it seems like it's not that accurate as to where your swing was. At least that was my experience with it.

If it didn't work, then why did the controller vibrate? Pretty sure it was listed in the manual too. Guess I hit a magical controller combo.
