I've definitely been guilty of coaching my DD to put a slight downswing on the ball to create backspin. This is actually a tip that I got from Fred McGriff years ago while playing HS ball. I understand the point of keeping the bat in the zone as long as possible, but isn't there something to physics if you are able to create some backspin on the ball?

Good common sense and practical thinking/explanations. Good enough information, that some co-opted and then bastardized his original work.
