HomeRuns without pointing up ?

[packmanuk]

Is it possible to hit homeruns without pointing up ? I use Kumula's datafile and his pro sliders. I haven't hit 1 homerun yet in 10 games pointing up or not. I did get close once but got robbed at the wall.

Try setting your power slider to 50, but then when you do "point up" your gonna get ALOT of high fly balls.

you don't have to point up tohit homers, I hit them by using left and right on the stick. Homers mostly deoend on pitch and timing, I hit most of my homers on off speed stuff.

You don't have to aim up, but it's much easier when you do.

i hit homeruns frequently on all-star with the power and contact slider at 0 by pressing up and pulling... that combo gets me about 2-3 homers a game and i average about 5 runs per game

You don't NEED TO. aS A MATTER OF FACT, yOU WOULD HAVE A BETTER CHANCE IF YOU DIDN'T POINT UP ALL THE TIME, THE TRUE SWING FEATURE MAKES YOU SWING WHERE THE BALL IS PITCHED, IF YOU SWING in the direction the ball is going, you will hit is on the screws assuming you time it right.

Sorry for the caps, I'm too lazy to re-type all that.

That almost deserves a ban.

In the future don't be lazy.

I find most of my home runs come from me setting my stick at the 6 oclock position

and firing up either to the 9 or 3 oclock position.....i usually homer 1-3 times a game.

hope this helps..........

ps.........this method works best when hitting off speed stuff
