Is Power Swing Worthwhile?

[Jeffrey Smith]

Does anyone use a power swing and have any success with it?

I find that whatever timing penalty power swing gives you makes it somewhat not worth it. At least with my skill level.

I find this year contact swing is almost overpowered.

It's a strange thing, at least in my eyes that if I want a double, I have to power swing. Home run? No, just a double or triple.

If you use it in the appropriate counts, then it works well. When the pitcher needs to throw a strike (2-0), sometimes I’ll have it queued up with my big bats in case they throw one over. But outside of that, I don’t use it too often because it should just be for situational spots.

I use it but it has to be used in moderation. Moderation like about as often as I use the bunt swing. I'm swinging normally I'd say 90% of the time, power swing 3%, contact 3% and bunt 3%.

I don’t think I’ve ever used it a single time. That or contact swing. I get a realistic amount of hits and home runs with the regular swing so I always use that.

I use Power only in 3-1 or 2-0 counts. I use Contact in 0-2, 1-2, 2-2 counts. All other counts I use Normal. I have hit some nice bombs with Power when ahead in the count but I've also struck out alot too. I've hit plenty of HRs with Normal and Contact too.

I never use it because I feel the normal swing gives you good results based on player ratings and hitting sliders.

I use it if the person rating is higher then his contact.
