Looking to take up that batting average?

Every batter, regardless of whether you're playing at the MCG or the local park has to hold a set of essential skills that can take their game to a whole new level. Let's talk our top five tips:

🏏 Stance and Grip: Start with a balanced stance. Your feet should be shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent. Hold the bat firmly but not too tight, with your top hand’s thumb and forefinger forming a ‘V’ pointing down the back of the bat.

🏏 Watch the Ball: Keep your eyes on the ball from the bowler’s hand until it reaches you. Anticipate the ball’s trajectory and decide your shot early.

🏏 Footwork: Quick and decisive footwork is crucial. Move your feet towards the pitch of the ball to play it with control and precision.

🏏 Backlift and Swing: Maintain a consistent backlift, bringing the bat up and back in a smooth motion. Swing through the line of the ball, ensuring a full follow-through for power and accuracy.

🏏 Head Position: Keep your head still and in line with the ball. This helps maintain balance and control, making it easier to place your shots.

These are your simple, repeatable steps to push those numbers up every time you step out onto the pitch 💯
