i have tried choking up to get more bat control just seeing how it would work out, but I feel that i lose power when i choke up. DOes anyone have an experience with this or is it just the way it is?

Sometimes I choke up just because I don't like how the bat feels at the bottom and my hands tend to slip. It has nothing to do with power or bat speed, it is simply just to make me think I have a great grip on the bat, it's really all in my head.
I usually choke up on 2-strike counts. It gives me better control of the bat when the pitcher can toss you anything.
Choking up will cut back on the power you can generate.
Better to work on a shorter swing to the ball on every swing.
Remember to maintain follow through.
