From the sources of hitting I consider pretty reliable, my understanding is that keeping the back shoulder higher, starting with the hands high, staying inside the ball and throwing your hands directly to the ball were/are critical to driving the ball, creating back spin, and avoiding top spin.
I continue to have trouble visualizing a hitter dropping his back shoulder, hitting the ball with the bat on a slight incline, and being able to apply backspin, which is so critical in ball flight.
