My dear lady: If this is slow pitch, and if you're not a threat to hit it out of the park, consider slap hitting to the opposite field. When I began playing on my brother's money tournament summer team [ the fellow above is correct: some of the best fun ever], I was the naive stupid pull hitter with a sub-500 batting average. He insisted that I slap hit to right [in my case --- left field in yours?], and the average went over 700 instantly.
If you're already good at this, I apologize for preaching to the choir, but it's amazing how many veteran righthand hitting softballers just pull-away into F-7 and one for threes. [or the opposite if lefties]. If you're good at this, the wait for the ball [you wait a little longer for the slap] allows you to see with side vision the movement of the defense if they try to cheat. Even if they do, they almost never can get the ball down the opposite line.
Sorry for the batting coach effusion, but at 75 I can't play anymore, so "those who can't play ..... "
