Make sure your head is in the correct spot and you are playing the ball directly in front of the eyes.

hello.
realistically there could be about a million reasons why you keep knicking off.
it could be because you are standing wrong, holding the bat wrong, poor shot selection, going after balls you should leave... I could go on and on.

there are loads of good coaches on this forum, give them a bit of chance to help you by going into more detail about your set up, the kind of delivery you struggle with etc.

failing that buy a joker, they are narrower than a normal bat so you won't hit so. many.
