Part 3 Part 3 of 3: Finding the Right Hit Angle
- 1 Keep the bat perpendicular to the ground. The angle of the bat can affect your hitting efficiency when you’re ready to hit the ball back. Turn the racket vertically up and down. This will create a loop in your swing. The extra length of the backswing can generate more power from this position because you have more room to hit the ball at speed.
- 2Place the bat parallel to the ground. Lay the bat flat and parallel to the ground as it is ready to explode into your swing. This shortens the back half of your swing and creates a path straight to the golf course. Because your bat travels less distance than it does when tilted up, you don’t generate as much energy.
- 3 Maintain an angle between upright and lying down. Find an angle that you feel comfortable with. Most people find an angle between parallel to the ground and straight up. It will depend on what type of hitter you are and how you plan to control the bat.
- Batting gloves can reduce vibration when hitting the ball.
