Supposedly all the power in a shot comes from the right hand (bottom). Most of the time you want the top and bottom hands to be in equality but if you want to hit a big six, you can sometimes force it through with the bottom hand.
Is it possible to slide the right hand down the bat for this so your hands are far apart or is it better to have them closer together as per normal V shots?
 
i had the same ques. too. i figured that if i keep it close together then the bottom and top hands work equally. but when i hold it far apart (after watchin Gilly, i tired it) i get to use more of bottom hand, but i dont feel comfortable. so which one is better? should i be using more of bottom hand? or keep it close and use both?
 
keep your hands close together as usual, but when going for a lofted shot, or one with alot of power, slide your hands up the handle of the bat close to the top. this creates more leverage when you hit the ball and therefore you get better power conversion.

well thats my theory anyway
