Having a strong core and strong legs will help you have the power you need. It is important that you have the proper mechanics to be able to use your legs and core efficiently. Rotational hitting would be the most applicable way of using these areas.

a swing is more than just moveing your bat and hitting the ball. its a perfect indicatoin of rhe heart of a softball player. if there swing is well concentrated then you know that the batter wants to hit the ball and works 24/7 to perfect there swing. just because a girl doesnt hit the ball doesnt mean they aren't a good softball player. it means they couldn't find there pitch,they can't concentrate or they just don't care. the farthher the ball is hit the harder they swing the bat the more heart and ambition it showa. to be good work hard.
What kind of swing should batters develop?
This is becoming a big debate on teaching the basics of the softball swing. There are two swings that are taught now. The traditional linear bat swing which uses mostly arms and the other is called rotational hitting where the rotation of the hips is where the power of the swing comes from. I prefer the rotational hitting because on a scientific point of view this movement shows that this motion uses more muscle strength to generate power in your swing. The quick rotation of the bat will also help on the speed of the ball out of the bat upon contact. The rotational swing helps a batter have the power needed in every swing. to analyze this swing you can check: http://www.softballperformance.com/blog/hitting-what-makes-manny-ramirez-such-a-good-hitter/

What does a flex index on a softball bat mean?
The number itself means nothing, it's an arbitrary number made up by the manufacturer. The important thing to know is Miken, Easton and DeMarini are the major manufacturers which offer 2 flexes in the handles. Basically, the stiff handle is for players with faster swing speeds and the less stiff handle is for players who need more whip to improve bat speed. There is diminishing return if you have a fundamentally sound swing and use a regular flex handle - the barrel head will lag behind. So, if you are a power hitter get the stiff flex handle. If you're not, get the regular flex handle.

Does the mass of a softball bat effect the distance it will travel when coming in contact with a bat?
yes, usually a heavyer bat will make the ball go farther, but if it's too heavy it willl slow your swing and you won't get a very good hit. I lighter bat will help you swing faster and you will pull the ball more.
