Recently, after my coach changed some things in my swing I've had some doubts and questions about where my hands and bat should be placed before the swing. Where should I start from? Should my hands be above or below my shoulder? If above, should the bat be tilted back towards the dugout or a more vertical angle? Before the change, my hands were about in line with my shoulder with the bat pretty vertical. My coach changed my hands above the shoulder with the bat tilted back toward the dugout. Where do you guys think the most optimal position for the hands to start from is?
