You can fix #1, force #3; #2 is G-d given (or not).

Yep, working the slot, right ear aligned with the inside edge of the plate, eyes at top of the zone, heel-toe with hips pointed at outside front corner of the plate. I'm tracking the pitch using my nose as the guide and not just eyeballing it.
It's repetitions that I need, just like slow pitch. Nothing more than an adjustment, and I'll make it.
