If you believe your hands will hurt when you swing faster with a ball then you won't. Have you had that experience or is it your mind. As far as what your hands feel like when your swing faster just throw a ball a short distance than through one a lot futhur . That's the feel. Recently in learning to hit the ball rather than swinging the image I was given was the ball was not a 4 oz. ball it was a 50 pound ball hit it. I did the ball went furthur and my hands did not hurt. I also was told to hit a impact bag as was well supported with my right arm. I gave it a full go and man did my shoulder hurt. The AI never thought I would give it that effort. The method for me is just do it. You want to hit it furthur swing faster. If your basic mechanics are good the ball will go farther and I bet straighter. If your out of balance during or after the swing then back off.
