Anyone practice this?
-
Frequently! By which I mean I try and hit everything for 6 in nets.
An even better game when we have a practice on the square is to see who hits it furthest into the woods :D
-
i would but i dont want to collect the balls after and bobody else is willing to
-
I'll do it in the nets if I see one that can be hit straight for miles, otherwise I don't bother.
-
Iv done it on about 5 occasions at my old club as we used to play in a county wide T20 comp. not as easy as you would imagine to actually clear the boundary for 6. Have someone feeding basic off spin of medium seam up.
-
Yes!
It is so so important to learn what you can and cannot do.
It is really refreshing and reassuring to know just how far you can send it.
Straight I can regularly clear 100m, same square, and have roped a couple of guys to help me work out the reverse sweep, need to know if I can clear the ring, the boundary, or just to keep it down and look for rotating the strike.
How many times do people get out by trying to hit it too hard and losing shape? Head back shoulders open, balance off and a swing and a miss..........
Go for it and have fun, pitch vision have a good guide, just google it

I have a book on t20 training and we tried range hitting. You are supposed to use tennis balls initially to get the correct technique, it's difficult to hit a tennis ball far without proper technique.
-
@uknsaunders , What is the name of the book?
-
Please name of book and author.

Can I have a copy of that book ? :D

Oh no, not the One-Whose-Name-Can't-Be-Spoken. :D

As I can't play I "walked the dog" to the ground where there happened to be training tonight.
I watched one of the younger lads in the "range hitting net"
This "net" was open top and about 15 yards long on either side of the wicket. Great if you're on the square so you can see how far you've hit it. Not so great when the. Practice strip is in the corner of the ground and cow corner is a school playing field and is only 30 yards away.
His session ended when he's lost the last of the balls...
-
Can you also post a picture of the "Table of Contents" of the book. Amazon does not show the TOC and I would like to get some idea of topics covered before I plunk down my hard earned deneros. :)

This book is 4 years old so you might be able to find a second hand copy like I did. Alternatively a newer version.

That looks an interesting read
Will have a look for a copy
Second season at a new club, and I've only just worked out I can't reach the straight boundary through slogging alone, I need quite a bit of pace on the ball to generate the distance,(65m) to clear the rope.
I'm talking about flat batting/slogging the slower bowlers, anything medium or above I'm comfortable driving that distance.
I know I probably shouldn't be looking to play these shots, but hey ho. I only work in fours or sixes

You charge em gayle buddy ;)

What I will do is show the section on power hitting, in the interests of promoting the book for the authors and I'm not showing anymore pages - you have to buy it! If any Admin think this is too much, feel free to delete.

Hmm
Leaning back and lifting your head, big no no,s in most sporting shots
Easier said than done tho.
I've changed bats this season too, gone from my long handled Toro, to a traditional styled bat, and I've noticed I'm hitting the ball higher up the bat?

Thank you @uknsaunders !!!! If I had a puppy, I would name him after you.
