Definition: Cut Swing

A cut swing in slo-pitch softball is a hitting technique where the batter swings downward at the ball, intentionally slicing under it. This motion creates backspin, which helps lift the ball and keeps it in the air longer, often resulting in long, deep fly balls with extended carry.
