do any of you guys know what I mean when I say that I am doglegging the bat?? When I take a swing the swing plane is kind of wavy. Instead of a smooth swing plane it's wavy. I think it has something to do with my bottom hand. Maybe the grip I use and what my bottom hand does in the swing. Maybe it's because I am so top hand dominant. I do know that my bottom hand wrist seems a little too extended. Should my bottom wrist at around contact be flexed down???

do you have a clip??

No clip but what I mean is instead of the bat head pointing downward (like normal swings) the bat head points more upwards. I don't think it actually points above a horizontal axis but it's not pointing down like it should. My swing plane is messed up and I THINK it has to do with my bottom hand and how I hold the bat.

can anybody help?? What I mean is my lead forearm and bat form more of a dog leg then a straight line. I think it's because my wrist isn't really flexed when I make contact?? I don't know why this happens but it isn't good.
