Thanks, Mike. I thought the "Speaking ASA" would get you to answer!

I have never yet seen this done. The batter actually swings slowly "through" the pitched ball? and is not chopping down? Where do they like to hit (or place) the ball when they are doing this?

Thanks.

Either down the 3B line or toward the SS. Remember, "chopping" in ASA is like swinging an axe from over one's head straight to the ground. Just because a bat is moving in a downward motion does not make it a "chop".
