Answer
hi teun
thanks for the question. videos and books are written about this. i will attempt to answer in a short paragraph.

1. starting position--hands at arm pit level and bat close to shoulder, back elbow in close to ribs
2. as upper body rotates keep back elbow close to ribs and lift front elbow so it is parallel to shoulder dip
3. when swinging-hands work last
4. hand patch is circular

this does not make much sense by itself. so go to www.bftgu.com and click on baseball school. then click on hitting and take a look at the info there. this should take about 10 minutes of your time. then come back and read these points again. it should make more sense then. there are 3 main ideas to good hitting mechanics (plane pitch, hips lead hands and hand path is circular). when done properly, the end result will be a good swing with good bat speed.

hope this helps.
