Question
Hi i need some help on my batting. i can hit it ok but i need to hit higher and further so can you please help me

Answer
Jordan,
    Like I said in my previous answer hitting has many details.  I could write about hitting for days and may not cover what you need help with.  I have written a 400 page manual that is awaiting publishing and this manual is only about hitting.  Before posting a question you do need to give some detail.  I have not seen you hit so I don't know were to start.  It could be you foot work, grip, head, eyes, rotation, swing, type of swing, finish, etc.  It may be something small or you may have to change your style.  Give example like what style do you hit linear or rotational, can you control the ball when you hit, do you have consistent power, do you have trouble with certain types of pitches, where does the ball usually go when you you hit it.  Everyone wants to hit the ball further but is this your style.  You may be a contact hitter and need to get on base for the power hitters, let the volunteer "expert" know.  These are important details for a quality answer.  Also, before you rate an answer wait until you get the final answer.  I need more info to better help you.  I like to think I give very thoughtful answers with good detail which deserve high remarks, I would never give an incomplete or bad answer.  
   I will be going away for the next couple of days but give me some info and I will give the best answer.  If you don't want me to answer the question, pick someone else but please give them a rating after they get all the info from you to better answer the question.       

Thank You,
John Priest
