Guys I can't figure this thing swing stick out; my timing horribly off- I can't even get a hit. Should I just stick to classic swing or does swing stick have a significant advantage?

Swing stick is way harded to use... so if you are all about winning online, then go with classic... if you wanna have a fun, rewarding SP experience, then go with classic.... Just practice a bit in the easiest difficulty with slower pitches then work your way up.

takes awhile to get used to the stick but when you learn to use it, it works great and i like it better than classic. pretty much step before the ball comes out of the guys hand, not right before, but a half a second or so before. like when his arm is halfway between the release point and when it was behind his head, so almost as soon as you see his arm come from behind him. that helps your timing down. you'll see that you get a more realistic feel with it because depending on when you hit the ball, where you hit it, and whether or not you go for a pull or push, the ball will go in the location its supposed to.

thats because you guys suck at using swing stick.

its not really a matter of which one is better , they each have their ups and downs.. classic makes hittin simple ...easy.. and perfect for online play.. swing stick is great once mastered its only draw back is that sliders are needed to help even out the experience and of couse check swinging with this is almots non-existent

You have to be nuts to play a full game on swing, Classic is the only option for me.
