Generally speaking the hand set is personal. Some hold the hands high by ther ear. Some hold them out from the rear arm pit. Some start them low and raise them. Your "trial and error" process is necessary to help you find your best spot. These two hitter represent the most common hand sets. Pay attention to their location in height and closeness to the body. The hands need to be "free". They need to "see" the ball. They should not be hidden by the lead elbow or wrapped around behind.
