Welcome to my article about Cricket Batting Coaching Tips ....

Advice for all you budding batsman out there, the purchasing of a cricket bat is a happy and monumentous occasion for all of us. Big Boys with Toys !

However the current trend of people buying overweight bats seems to be on the rise.

Batting is not about smashing across the line, & hitting sixes and fours.

It is about accumulating runs and placing the ball in a risk free manner where the fielders are not. It's about annoying the heck out the captain, bowler and fielders and creating frustration that knocks them off their games - and keeps you on top of yours.

If your bat is too heavy, your bottom hand will constanly come into play and as such you will loss the control of the top guiding hand as a means to places fielders where you want them .....

Q. Is your bat to heavy for you ?

Q How will you know ?

If you cannot hold the bat at a 90% angle away from your body with your top hand only (ie the top hand for a right hander is the left hand) then the bat is too heavy ?
If your bat is too Heavy you are in danger of missing balls, miss timing shots and you'll give bowlers the upper hand.
