Is it ok to choke up on the bat? I dont like the feel. if not is ok to use a choke ring? why?Thanks Dragoncoach
I bet I choked up on a bat for 30 years, then, I realized that I might as well buy a bat that fits me (after whacking that boney part of my wrist with the knob of the bat, more than once.)
I think that it changes the weight that I am swinging if I choke up. Now, I use the entire bat.
In some organizations, adding anything to the bat - like a knob cuff or a choke ring, is illegal.
Thanks Howard. I will do those exercises.
I got into slow pitch, last year, which is a whole different world in my opinion.
Anyway, that is where I started learning about the bat. The guys in slow pitch, work a lot on their grip and the tape on the handle. They put a cuff on the handle to create leverage. So, I learned to tape the handle with this taper thing going on and it seemed to make a positive impact on the distance that I can hit.
Many men even drop their little finger off the knob of the bat, to work on their leverage, too.
