Slap or Bunt??????

[tcannizzo]

mcrowder,
What you write about SP (and BB) can be true due to field dimensions and position of fielders. My comments were more towards FP, although still apply well to SP.

Think about your swing with what you are saying. To impart that much "english" on the ball, you are not stopping the bat. You are slicing all the way through.

Stopping your swing is risky business too as it gets closer to violating SP hitting rules. Stopping your bat provides the PU the opportunity to judge whether you have bunted or not.

You pays your money, you takes your chances.
