Hi William,
Using a hardbat against sponge bats is not an easy task - but that doesn't mean it is impossible. There are several techniques and approaches for the hardbatter to be more formidable against a sponger. First, it is important to focus on slowing the game down. Defensive play is probably the easiest method. However if you can attack with the hardball you will find that it is difficult for the sponge player to cope with that ball, especially if they are not used to it.
