Keep your weight back
I hit off my back foot. By that I mean that when I connect with the ball, my weight is on my back foot, not forward. I do that because it's the best method for hitting curves and off-speed pitches. If you step forward too soon, committing yourself before you can gauge the speed and location of the ball, you may end up having to lunge.
