How do you hit a ball to the opposite field?
601987
If you want to consistently hit to the opposite field you need to learn to look for the right pitches to do it with. It is really tough to drive an inside pitch the opposite way unless you just are so late on your swing that you squirt one down the line. What you want to do is look for pitches away, keep your head and front shoulder in and step towards the ball. If you open your shoulder or your head flies up you will dribble little grounders, but if you keep that front shoulder in and swing with the location(that one is hard to explain just practice) you will discover the secret all on your own.

Just think of it like baseball. Its the same thing, except you dont swing at the ball with the bat, but instead kick it with you leg. The positions in the outfield are self explanatory(right, center, and left field) and if you catch it out there, they are out. If it rolls to you, just throw it back into play. Have fun!

Just keep taking grounders.  Get in front of the ball.  Keep your glove down.  Watch the ball all the way into your glove.  Use two hands.  Don't worry about making the throw; you have to field the ball first. Don't get nervous. Just keep practicing and work on the fundamentals that I described.

The last answer was almost right, but not quite. Usually, a pitcher's breaking ball will break away from a similarly handed batter i.e. a southpaw's curve will tail away from a left handed batter and into a righty. Matching up like this helps minimize the hitter's power, as the hitter has to either take the pitch the other way or try to turn it over, which leads to a lot of ground balls on the hitter's pull-side. It's a lot harder to hit an opposite field homerun than to pull a curve a little inside and take it a long way.

put out your right hand onto the table finger tips touching the tables but palm up, rest the stick between your thumb and fore finger about 30cm from the tip. use your other hand to push the stick forward, whilst aiming at the ball. \n*put a bit of talc where the stick rests on your hand- it makes it easier*

throw a ball against an uneven wall and try to catch it, you wont know where it is going so you need to react fast

just like it sounds baby!  have you ever put "english" on a tennis ball or a pool ball?  You hit is in a certain area to make it spin. \nPool - the ball gets hit near the bottom to make it spin back toward you.  The side spin serve in VB makes the ball curve thru the air so it looks like one person should receive it and then it either lands in between players or goes to an entirely different player.  you need to practice it!  hit it on the right side (if you are right handed) and stand toward the right of the court. Do the opposite if you are left handed.

use your toes with the right foot to step over and push the ball to the left and feint to the right...at the same time stepping over with your left to exaggerate going to the right... \n\n...now the ball is a foot(12 inches) away from the outside of your left foot...flick it left fwd and away from defender...and go left...\n\nyou need to swivle hips so they fall for your fakes...good luck

With a turbulent boundary layer on both sides of the ball, the effect of the seam is reversed. It now acts as a ramp, pushing the turbulent air away from the ball and causing the boundary layer to peel away sooner. That makes the pressure on that side higher, forcing the ball to swing towards the batsman.\n\n To get reverse swing with a new ball, smooth on both sides, experiments show that the bowler has to reach 80-90 miles per hour to get appreciable movement. This kind of speed has only ever been achieved consistently by a few bowlers. A scuffed ball however can generate substantial reverse swing at speeds well within the capabilities of any medium-paced bowler.\n\nThe ideal ball for reverse swing has one side rough, the other smooth, with a prominent seam in between. The seam should be angled at about 15 degrees to the direction of flight, pointing away from the desired direction of movement. The ball can then be swung both into and away from the batsman depending solely on which side of the ball is delivered at the front - generating either normal or reverse swing. Because the bowler does not need to change either his grip or his action, the batsman will have no clue which way the ball is likely to move.\n\nFor reverse swing the amount of sideways movement is related to the speed of delivery, making this a particularly effective delivery for fast bowlers.

4-3 Free Fire\nif on PS2....\nL1 up or down..(Depending on if you think run or pass), R1 up, Triangle right, Triangle down, then R1 up or down on the right joystick (Depending on if you think run or pass)....Control your MLB....If it looks like a run flick down on the Right joystick to commit to run...if it turns out to be a play action run your MLB in the area you think the QB will pass too....works all day against computer....against friends I usually mix it up with some good zone plays using the same button combos.

Trap the ball against the heel of one foot with the other.  Roll the ball up the first foot with the second then lean forward and kick the ball back and upward over your shoulder.  \n\n\nMore detailed description here: http://www.ehow.com/how_8849_rainbow-kick-soccer.html\n\nLinks to a video of it below.

Always try to find the open space. Pay attention to the off side rules. Learn to kick the ball in a way that the ball ends up were you want to send it..  The same heading the ball. Practice until you can do that. The ball is the tool of the game.

In the opposite direction of the applied force or motion

there are plenty of ways, the one I use that has been most successful is this:\nstart with a two-seam fastball grip. move your fingers in between the seams. When you come aroudn to throw (starting your throw the way you would normally with a fastball) co-ck (they wouldn't let me write it without the hypehn) your rist inward and snap your fingers so the ball rolls off the top of your index finger.\nDepending on your arm slot you should get a movement either 12-6, 1-7, 2-8, or even 3-9. (those movements are for right handed pitchers, opppsite movement is for left handers)\nSometimes this grip is misconstrued to be a hard slider grip, but with the cock of the wrist a lot fo pressure is taken off the elbow.\nWork with it a lot and it should become a very effective pitch.

When you throw a ball in from the sideline, keep your feet on the ground and, even if your teammates are waving their arms in the middle of the field, throw the ball down the sideline. Field position is more important than possesion.

If you mean pulling your head off the ball... head moves with shoulder this is a huge problem 'cause it makesseeing the ball virtually impossible.  How to correct:\n\nGet a tee and put the ball on it.  Look out ot the pitcher mound or where it would be...  Now follow the imaginary pitch all the way to the tee.  Hit the ball but focus on not moving your head but looking at the tee where the ball was.  It will take a lot of practice to break this but with time and a lot of swings... you will correct it.\n\nIf you uderstand how to properly hit a ball to the opposite field. (Wait for the ball to get deeper) During the next several practices have someone pitch you BP and hit everything you get pitched to the opposite field.  The trick here is to not wait for the outside pitch but try to force everything to the opposite field.  High, Low, Inside, Outside... Wait on it and take it to the opposite field!  Make a game of it... I like this better than tee work (but do both) because you are actively involved in hitting a pitched ball.  Hitting to the opposite field requires your eyes to stay on the ball longer and deeper.  \n\nIn a game situation when you are worried about it... we all get that way!  Consider taking the first pitch and follow it all the way to the catchers mitt.  This will reinforce the muscle memory right before you launch one!!!\n\nIt will take a lot of practice to break this but with time and a lot of swings... you will correct it.  Remember it took a while to form the bad habit...  \n\nGOOD LUCK!

hit a bit lower on the ball and follow all the way through..as for it going to the right..that could be because your foot is open when you hit it try hitting with your instep..and keep your plant foot aimed at your intened target... i hope that helps!!
