Power Swing

[Infinite]

Hitting Home runs, Driving the ball, usually doubles...
what are the key elements...
is it solely based upon having weight lifting power(core, legs, arms, shoulders)...

So what makes a power swing?:confused:

During the Homerun Derby on ESPN a few weeks ago, they said that it comes from your legs.

Power comes from proper mechanics and fast swing. Some hitters are fast due to strength. Some due to quickness. If you're young the major difference between most freshman and upperclassmen in high school is upper body strength.

The ability to rotate your torso and effectively whip the bathead. Using just your arms, and just trying to push the bathead at the ball won't hit it very far unless you have well above average strength.

The power comes from effectively creating force from the body rotation and transmitting it effectively to the bat.
