What does spin to the softball? Spin helps the ball maintain speed and cut through the air. Back Spin makes the ball carry and Top Spin will make the ball drop. Whether you hit a back spin line drive, or a top spin ground ball, you want the ball to spin as many times as possible and it will find more holes. In this lesson we look at how to accelerate your bat to make the ball have more spin on the ball. Remember, a knuckleball thrown from 60 feet at 70 MPH will lose speed at a greater rate than a ball with tight back spin at 70 MPH. When the bat slows down at contact and through the hitting zone the ball loses spin, and you lose power! Check out the Video below.
