you guys are stupid your supposed to meet the ball like that. It makes a backspin and if ur actually good it will be a solid line-drive and the backspin will lift it

@ControllerPainting dude at the same level ur dropping your hands and most bats are top heavy and ur gonna get a weak grounder, crappy foul ball or a pop somewhere in the infield

you don't even say how to make contact you just say make it, for every pitch theres a different point where you have to make contact depending on the length of your swing
