Maybe toss it about head high a little out front and see how hard and far you can hit it. You don't have to be so nice to the ball :devilish:. Power will come from the ground up not the arms kiddo.
Thank you . Since I'm at home practicing and don't have a net I can't swing like I do at the field.

Try to get some Wiffle balls or Lite Flight balls.

I don't think doing the half swings are going to help you in a couple ways. For one, that's not the swing you'll use in a game, but also, the people here can't really analyze your swing if it's not your real swing.

Is that Vlad Jr?

I always found it really awkward to toss the ball up with the top hand because you're flipping it from behind, so the ball is going away from you. I'm not suggesting it's wrong, exactly, but may be more difficult for a younger player to toss with the top hand.

Keep up the great work Hannah, nice to see how dedicated you are. I would toss the ball not quite as high a little more out front and see what happens. When performing self toss hitters tend to rush everything in the beginning.. have confidence that you have the power and speed to get to and drive the ball without sacrificing good hitting form.

I posted a new thread with a video attached at the batting cages .
