I may have a problem.....
looks like ur holding on to the bat WAY to tight, and your whole body looks tense, relax a bit and focus less energy on ur arms, as u do your hips, shoulders etc. also follow through with your swing by opening up your shoulders after contact
On a side note...why do you look so angry? is an ex wife pitching to you? (reference 2:17 in the video)

when you swing was level it looked like you were getting good contact, but a few you swung down at, just remember to keep your swing level!

Yeah man, just relax a little bit. You look pissed off when your about to swing which might be causing you to be a little tight. Relax the hands and let them fly, you'll find that you'll get the barrel through a lot better. Judging by sounds you can tell when you get a good hold of it. Let's incorporate some calf raises, toe ups, and maybe some donkey lifts. Build those bad boys up to match the upper body, can't be having bird legs my friend

I agree with everyone's suggestion and will add one of my own b/c I hear it a lot on myself. EXTEND your arms, you lose a lot of speed/power when you don't extend your arms out fully. When you are able to extend it fully you will know you are "relaxed" when hitting.
lol I also do that windmill wind-up of the bat lol

Thanks for reviews. I have just started lining up the knocker knuckles..so getting use to that. I work my legs all the time..I feel that was a bad angle for my leg profile... The field was 300, 2 of them went out...Nothing i can do about the face, I have a mad face but I was really kind of cheerful there. And you guys should be looking at the whole swing not just my pretty legs

Happy Brithday you old ****! Just wondering, how long have you been playing? I agree with everyone else, you are way too tense. I can't tell if you were getting ready to take a dump at home plate or getting ready to hit.

Back away from the plate a little.
It looks like you are jamming yourself a lot. When you are jamming yourself like that, it looks like you are swinging at the ball, instead of swinging through the spot where the ball will be. You can back away far enough that the bat covers most, but not all of the plate when you swing. If the pitch is outside, you can step towards right filed to cover the rest of the plate. That will also help you get a little more pop on your backside shots.
Don't lat the leg haters get you down. I work mine until I can't stand up, but they don't et any bigger.

it's hard to tell how hard and where you're hitting the ball ..
from the looks of it, u make good contact..
it's the angle/style of your swing and follow through that gets me.. it's either a modified type of tomahawk swing or you're not extending to your potential max...also like the other guys said.. be relaxed and minimize the figgiting..
you look like a big guy.. if i were u, use your legs more going into your swing, and meet the ball out in front as it comes down..
good vid though

what he said... your hads start low and then come up right before you swing... just start with your hands up that way their is less movement in the swing

hahahaah, money!
I am using a superfreak..I always wondered if my hips were coming through at the right time.. It feels like they are but I will work on getting them through earlier..good advice. The weird thing on that video was I went to right field a lot. The pitches were outside and it still looks like I am getting jammed. I think I need an angle were you can see the ball coming off the bat. Most of the time it feels like I am hitting the ball really hard.
