Slow Pitch Softball Swing - What am I doing wrong?

I've played baseball all my life. I started playing softball about 4 years ago. I usually hit very well every year, mostly gap shots and Home runs. I'd mostly hit for power and usually drive the ball more often then not.

This year I don't know what I am doing wrong. I'm getting base hits, but I am not really hitting with authority like I usually do.

A few things to know:

- I just bought a new bat, still breaking it in(Miken ASA Recoil Maxload)
- All my hits seem to be dead center
- Have yet to pull the ball really
- I have a closed stance
- Quick bat speed
- I like the ball low and those seem to be the one's I drive the best

It almost seems like I am waiting too long to start my swing possibly? Should I move up on the plate or be further back? I am thinking about going with an open stance and see if I can start pulling the ball more.

opening your stance will help alot. since you like the lower ones so much maybe you should try scooting back a bit. let the ball get further into the zone. and for pulling the ball i have found it a little easier by takin your foot thats closest to the pitcher and movin it in towards the plate a little bit
