Lately i've had a hitting problem. My coach says my timing is fine and my mechanics are good he says its like I almost can't see it. He says I am just missing it with my bat. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?? He said it might be that I might not be keeping my head down long enough?

Watching batting practice at my son's LL, I notice the kids that hit the ball well versus those that did had one main thing different. There grip. Its very easy to forget. We'd go over with the kids before practice, but when they get up, they all forget.

Do you see the ball at release? Track the first dab of white?
If so, do you lose it with the stride?
Cock & stride with every pitch? Early, easy, smooth?
There might be bugs in there that overwork you later, tighten up the swing, and move your head etc.
A suggestion was made about your grip; that's a Maybe worth testing.

Few hitters use the knocking knuckles lined up.
Here's Ortiz:

Take the bat with the front hand and place it on the other side of the plate. Bring the other hand to the bat and bring the bat over your head like you were chopping wood. That would be a good place to start."He who dares to teach, must never cease to learn."

Originally posted by LAball View PostI like the Lining up Knocker knuckle grip. I notice it feels uncomfortable when the bat is at the rear shoulder, which is probably why most kids dont grip correctly. But once the bat is horizontal this grips feels very good.
Most hold the bat like the photo below, or they move the top knuckles over to where the black line is;
Barry Bonds uses the "box" as did Willie Mays. Ted Williams also used it.
Hank Aaron actually had the top knuckles on the side closest to his body.
