Thanks so much for the replys. looks like it doesn't matter if she squares or pivots, I prefer to square when its a SAC. What about trying to hit the ball more on the end of the bat to deaden it more?
I disagree with that statement. If you are more square with both feet firmly on the ground you have better balance. I believe its the better choice, recommended by DD hitting coach.
Other question. Easier to "give" with the arms to deaden the ball than to try to place it on a particular spot on the bat barrel. Keep it simple.
Stand 10 - 15 feet away with a bucket of balls and throw them to different locations, making sure each player has great mechanics everytime. Bat always going down, not up, and let the ball hit the bat. The thought is to catch the ball with the bat. For RHB, angle the bat handle slighty in to make the ball go down the 3B line, handle slightly away from you to go down the 1B line.
Also, in general teach your pitchers to throw "high" or "low and inside" to a bunter.
