O.K., I'm never going to stop being a hacker unless I fix this. On video, I see that I have the classic hacker's "over the top", too steep downswing. I'm trying to fix this by "holding back" my right shoulder until I switch my weight to my front foot. Unfortunately, for some reason, this has resulted in the return of topped and fat shots that I had almost eliminated from my game. The cure is worse than the disease in that I at least had a fairly repeatable swing before; now my vertical radius is wildly erratic.

I'd appreciate drills, swing thoughts, training aids, anything that might help, the simpler the better. By the way, I'm a swinger. Thank you.

Per 2-N-0, "There must be an Underhand Pitch motion and Feel...during the Startdown."

1) Stretch your left hand out level with the left shoulder in front of you.
2) Take your baseball and pitch it underhand whilst keeping the left hand stationary there.

Notice how the pivot responds to the demands of the hand. This is in essence a 'Hand Controlled Pivot'.

Also as you are a swinger, one more drill you could consider is to hit balls (after ingraining the underhand pitch drill) and release your right hand only at impact.
