eh? Who said I worked with pros? Just watch them on the tv and you'll see what I mean, idiot.
Sorry I feel my previous post may have been a little facetious, but seen as we were told that one foot weighting filtering to the amateur game I felt it was needed to clarify.
I like think I’ve got a reasonable and varied cricket knowledge. From coaching under 5s to sharing breakfast with some of the greats of the game while they talk about how they used to get the ball to reverse (yes the cheated).
I’m not saying I know it all far from it, but I can honestly say I’ve not heard the term “one foot weighting” used by any pro or ex-pro I’ve worked alongside. And I’m lucky enough to have worked in various countries and in a variety of roles even feeding analysis to some of our favourite TV commentators.
The topple method as Buzz describes isn’t perfect as it does promote a unstable movement, but gives a much better representation than getting young players to move their feet first, as that often leads to young players not transferring weight into the ball correctly.
I subscribe to a simple methodology of if you can transfer your weight into the ball and provide the face of the bat along a bat path that gives maximum opportunity to strike the ball you aren’t going to going far wrong.
But thanks for your input
