Right after I made the switch to zone I started clubbing no doubter home runs one after another, and usung directional hitting last year I would never have no doubt homers only robbable fence scrapers. Not trying to tell you guys who are struggling with directional to make the switch, but if you have once used zone you may want to revisit that as zone at least for me this year seems the superior hitting interface.

I am having completely opposite experience.
Last year I struggled to hit with anything...I just felt game hitting was off last year...

I have hit more doubles in 2 days than I think I hit all last year.

I have hit no doubt HRs with Didi Gregorious and Brett Gardner.
There is definitely more reward and penalty in Directional Hitting for timing.

Since Timing is mostly what you are doing (Direction is optional) it is weighed heavily.
