Batting Technique analysis
« on: January 25, 2012, 04:34:16 PM »
Hello - I thought it would be fun to put up a series of posts on batting techniques while people are starting their pre-season nets and looking at well know players and give people a chance to pick holes in their techniques...

I was going to start with the "Stig" - but actually there is so much love for Aussie left handers on the forum I thought I would start with Phillip Hughes, Michael Hussey and David Warner - just looking at their set up and stance.

Here are a few pictures and have a think about your thoughts... (if you have better pictures, please put them up!)

There will be a theme on these threads - and I will give you a clue - we are starting with holding the bat... Stance will be next...

This is fun for you Buzz, seeing what rubbish people come up with ;)

I'm going with where the grip is on the handle, and how soft the bottom hand is gripped?

The 'V' between thumb and index finger and it's positioning in relation to the spine?

Hussy doesn't look like he's leading with his head/shoulder elbow?

His elbow looks way out? Looks like he will be playing it bottom handed

Also can people say what they think the effects are of how the bats are being held, in terms of shot making and possible dismissals.

With your hands further apart wouldn't it be easier to nudge and needle the ball?
