    Just wondering if anyone through experience has actually found power swing helpful. I hardly ever use it because I just haven’t felt that it really benefits the user.

    I have in RTTS, it seems the I can get more hard hits thorough the infield more often. In franchise....not really. For me, it seems I just foul more balls off and never get that hard clean hit.

    If the pitcher throws a cookie down the middle then power swing will increase bat velocity. But, that power swing's ability to impart that increased exit velo drops dramatically as the pitch nears the edges of the strike zone.

    It may be just a mental thing for me but I find that power swing gets through the zone faster. So if I am struggling to get around on a fastball it seems to catch up better. I may need to test this theory out in practice on legend with only fastballs inside.

    Unless you are great at getting your pci where it needs to be you should use normal
