I think what is not right with your swing is the huge leg step while dropping your head & shoulders and dropping your hands. It's a lot of movement and none of it is necessary for a solid swing. It actually looks like you are reacting to a jack-in-the-box popping open when the pop toss goes off...

When that happens to me it's usually because I'm making contact too late in the swing, ie. close to full extension. It's better to connect before that and drive through the ball. Remember, it's all about bat speed after contact

Studies? lol

Not sure. My problem starts with strength and conditioning. Luckily I know how to hit the cutoff, which is what should be happening most of the time.

If you already have the strength and conditioning piece, then mechanics is probably the issue.

I meant in Canada

Pretty sure they commonly call itOrthodox in Quebec and east coast.

Ya ... I know

Some orthodox use fast pitch balls (KMasters or Red dots), but most use slow pitch balls. Fast pitch balls are ideal because of the raised seams, and orthodox is closer to fast pitch than to modified.

Measure it from the ground

They shouldn't do this either, imo. It impacts strategy and the umpires should have no part in that.

Dude at 4:30 ... does he yell Oooh after every swing?

When you figure out where you are moving to, post on the Canadian site and people will give you the scoop

In a conversation about face masks, you noted that no one wears a mask in your league and that you would consider wearing shin guards, while saying nothing about wearing a mask. I guess I inferred

Haha, would consider protecting your shin from pain, but not your face/head from a life altering injury. Bet you ride a motorcycle without a helmet too.
