An extremely useful tip a friend taught me helps make sure your doing a full arm swing...

When your bringing you hitting hand back. Dont assume the "shot-put" form with that hand. Bring your hand ALL the way back - and have your thumb, touch your shoulder.

If this is confusing I can try to find some pictures - however, if you do what I'm saying (just sitting there at the comp) - you can see the difference.

*Supposively* this is how brazil trains thier hitters, thats what he told me anyway. I couldn't find any actual proof of that - but I'd believe it.
