home run swing
Fence-clearing bat motion
A home run swing is a full, powerful swing of a baseball bat—the kind intended to drive the ball out of the park rather than make contact for a base hit.
The phrase extends to any all-out effort that prioritizes maximum impact over control: He took a home run swing at the proposal, pitching something far more ambitious than anyone expected.
