Trust me, it will add offense to the game.
Even some of the biggest critics on the NUS over the past few years have started to swing on this issue. The players expect it. It urges them to swing the bat more frequently thus putting the ball into play more often which in turn creates more offensive and defensive opportunities throughout the game.

I've played and umpired for years and I think it speeds up the game considerably. I personally don't like to hit with 2 strikes on me and no coutesy foul so the first one that's close to a strike and I'm swinging.
