How do I improve my swing in slow pitch softball?

I used to be a power hitter now i have lost a lot of weight and don't have as much pop or strength to muscle the ball out of the park. I still have the same swing which really hurts me and cant seem to fix it and keep uppercutting in my swing. I also am a right handed hitter and continue to pull the ball to left field almost every time. What do i do?|||I've played slow pitch my self a few years back. For the swinging, the most important thing is timing (same for every other kind of softball baseball). Since the ball goes up and then comes down, don't rush. Do not rush to smash the ball, because then you'll just stretch and the results won't be good. You said you are a power hitter, if you loosed lot's of weight that won't mean you can't hit as far. You lost it probably because you swung too early. It's slow, so it tempts the batter to swing. Go the the batting cages and try this next time, wait for the ball to drop into your reach and then give it all you got, hopefully it get's to the distance you want.





Hope this helped you a bit, good luck.|||The best thing to do is hit the cages and level out your swing.


If you're no longer a power hitter then there's no reason to continue to be a dead pull hitter.


Once you level your swing out a bit work on hitting the ball to right field.


If you're not hitting home runs then a ball to the right center gap is the next best thing.
