The third clip, the first minute.
Two thoughts.

1) You don't need to play at many of the deliveries.
2) When you face-up, your bat face is 'closed'. When you bring it down it's like Greame Smith. Twist the bat until the face points away from you. When you bring it down it will be more square to the wicket.

I hope I explained that Ok.

Does your grip feel right to you??

[LEACHY48]

your hands seem to go quite far away from your body and result in you playing out to in, and therefore your connection isnt as clean as it could be, really try to keep your hands dead behind you, or just over middle and off.

Last vid you don't seem to move your feet at all towards the all. Your not getting in line with the delivery and therefore playing away from your body. Try and get in line with each delivery, and play under your eyes rather than away from your body as that's when you loose shape and control.  "Keep tight"

Hope that makes sense.

The first vid your doing what I used to do. Basically your hitting from inside out when driving the ball. What you need to do to counter this (its worked wonders for me btw) is to look at the following...

Bat pickup point - your initially picking you bat up at backward point and then rotating round and down, you need to lick the bat up closer (maybe second slip) this will bring the bat down straighter and help.

Also you seem to have a closed grip. I'd recommend that you open it a little so your thumb and finger line up with the back of the splice.

This should do the trick...I'll try and get a new vid and old vid of me batting to highlight the changes I've made.

That would be great mate

Ryan it will be used against you my friend

[Ryan]

Oh, and try and hold your position when you've played a shot. That will be a good indicator when checking balance. 

Maybe get your mate to "pretend" feed now and then (go to put the ball in and stop),  this will check that your getting in position (in line with the ball)

Not fussed dave, I know I'll get nowt against you anyway lol

[procricket]

You will mate had a bit of a hit with the bat mate...

From just watching the first video id say your hands are a little too far away from your body so as your trying to bring the bat through straight your actually bringing it down towards mid on... try to tuck your hands in a bit more and bring your bat from first slip instead of gully.
