individual preference
I choke up on a 34"
~Dont like knob hitting palm.
~Prefered the balance when coked up.
~Utilized small ball into hitting strategy.
~worked! set a hitting record at the WCWS.
Also know one of the best hitters in the nation used to hold on to the knob
Litterally her palm beyond the knob.
Can see holding with fingers.
That is Liz Mizzera batting for Texas A&M

This is how I hold the bat. My swing feels better, but it also can leave a nice little bruise in the trapezium/scaphoid area.
I cannot find the link for the life of me, but I recently read a study done by, I think, one of the bat sensor companies, that examined swings when choking up, holding the bat normally, having the hand hang below the knob, and one more. Some interesting results (choking up, typically, did not produce results that were as good as the other options).
