One of the reasons Over/under loaded training bats are so valuable.
In your training you should mix in implements with varying weight distribution, length, barrel size.
Try to swing them fast.
Do so in variable, game representative environments.
You will get better. It will translate to the game.

The idea that power fades with age has been repeated for decades, but the numbers are starting to tell a different story.
Kyle Schwarber, Nolan Arenado, and Mookie Betts are holding onto and in some cases gaining bat speed and exit velocity deep into their 30s.
They’ve changed the intention of their training, focusing more on skill, efficiency, athleticism, and trying out new methods.
Across the league, that evolution is reshaping what the “aging curve” looks like.
Power doesn’t have to decline, it just has to adapt.
Make your B swing as productive as someone else’s A swing.
Train Bat Speed.
Raise your ceiling and elevate your floor.
Swinging the bat fast and hitting the ball hard.

Environment design and intent drive the adaptation.
By creating environments that naturally encourage—or outright demand—a specific swing adaptation, coupled with a clear ball-flight target and focused intent, you create a space where the hitter instinctively learns how to move correctly, needing little to no direct coaching.
Learning through self discovery outweighs over cueing and micromanaging the swing.
Nice make @HirchertJack

I just launched v1 of an interactive app that maps MLB swing paths (2023 ASB → 2025 July) using Statcast + Savant data.
