What's the difference in aiming at and hitting the center vs aiming at and hitting one inch below center? If you can be accurate doing one, there's nothing preventing you from being accurate doing the other. Right?
That's probably what you said but I haven't had my coffee yet.
If you hit a ball 1" below center is that a rocket out of the park or a del monte cream style 'can of corn'?


Top hand meaning the one attached to the front arm? ...palm down at contact?
The hand closest to the barrel of the bat.

Swinging down to vs turning barrel down and behind the ball.
Do you have a video of a turning barrel down swing with the hands remaining at the shoulders for a thigh-high pitch?

At the same time reading a line drive hit right at you with back spin in the outfield can be a nightmare. I don't know how many times I've seen outfielders charge a ball only to see it sail right over their head.
Not gonna lie, I have been hit in the chest by a line drive that knuckled. I could see the logo coming at me before it went left a foot....scary.
