Thanks-Chris

Hitting or swinging or 3 barrel should not prohibit the ability to have a trajectory other than a knock down type shot.

If the shots are accurate in direction, then if you adjust the ball position you will more than likely experience a direction problem initially but you may discover something other than quail high.

How is your follow through? How far and how high is it? That may be an indicator if it is abreviated, like wise with the backstroke, is it complete or shoreter.

I am sure there are some who can jump in here with some other ideas.

It does sound from your description that you are getting some spin on the ball. You didn't mention if you are suffering from distance losses. Quitting usually results in at least a loss of distance and can result is errant shots.

Martee-My finish position is definetly abbreviated compared to swinging. I am generally finishing with my flat left wrist still intact and my hands at about shoulder height.
