three things hold me back: 1) seeing the ball 2) fear of the pitcher 3) my takes sometimes show that swing isn't right where it needs to be. By the way, I am CRUSHING the ball in batting practice- my swing feels incredible. I'm just working on heel timing and throwing the bathead- making sure my weight is over the plate so i can stay through the ball, and trying to stay back- not jump out at the ball. Those are the two things- staying back and staying through the ball- because often when i get into trouble its because i am pulling the lead shoulder out or diving at the ball. as far as my hands, as long as i get them going back and up and have some tilt or cock to the bat- MINIMAL- but some so i can keep my weight over my feet. also- my legs are very athletic- cocked on my back leg, ready to drive, toes pointed in. head still, see the ball, see the top half, backspin it.

keep visualizing what you should have done when you don't get exactly the results you want.

stay intense focused- hard, and aggressive.

work the heel timing in front toss. take dry hacks working on it, off the tee, and then swing w/ a ball.

consistent mental training- consistency in thoughts, objectives
