When you play guys that hit soft like your partner, maybe you should try moving your feet more. Split step like the guy is hitting hard, and get turned earlier. You have no power on your shots because you are using a heavy western grip and are not slugging it with your full body.
I had a similar issue and switched grips and worked on my feet and weight transfer.
If you want to play college level, you will need to hit a heavier ball. What you are hitting now would be crushed because it bounces into the strike zone with no pace.
Hmm...heavy western grip? i always believed that i played with with a semi-western. are there any huge differences between the two?
and i agree that i need to hit the ball harder and use my body weight better.
