I don't have this particular video uploaded to my YT account. Are you able to see the video?

How do you get backspin without the bat moving downward (in relation to the path of the ball) during contact?

Sb03 did a good job of explaining it. Let me know if you still have questions eric.

What's interesting about that, however, is that Lauren Chamberlain believes she swings with a "chop down on the ball" swing, and wants to create backspin (go to approx. 5:45)...


Sigh. This will never end will it, the morons "educating" us about backspin. Actually, it's a scientific fact that you are dead wrong Lauren, maybe start with "The Physics of Baseball".

But in any case Eric, you are right, many good hitters do believe they swing down on the ball.
