Title: Outdoor Nets
Post by: Seniorplayer on April 10, 2015, 08:25:46 AM: Had my first outdoor club net last night and what a shocker missed straight balls and couldn't hit any shots it's back to basics to workout whats gone wrong as I have my first net with the Worcester County seniors next week based on last night not worth a place in any fourths or fifths side.

Are you off during the day?? If so, happy to come up and throw balls at you on your wicket.. Few hours hitting will get you sorted

I literally missed everything. Honestly, I was on it for about 20 minutes and I couldn't hit the ball no matter what I tried to do. It was very distressing at the time but it's hilarious to look back at now!

Although last year could not hit a thing, swings and roundabouts mate.
