Much improved mate compared to your first video, however I think you had a better hit last week!

try to make the toe of the bat point where the ball should end up rather than it coming straight back in front of you which gives the appearance of you coming round the ball.

ie an off drive should end with the toe of the bat facing mid off and not coming round to face the bowler.

The bottom hand still looks a bit off, should be like this ...

Now I'm not expert, but just watching the first few shots, everything seems a bit stiff and rigid when you play the shots, like your arms and wrists. I dont know what difference this makes, but its just an observation of mine

Like there's no realm follow through, its all quite punchy. and your front leg seems to just plant straight down the wicket, rather than out and across to the pitch of the wider ball that you drive

Strangling with the bottom hand, need to loosen it off a good bit.  Bat should just rest in the fingertips of your bottom hand.

Thought I'd take a look at your video as you'd helped out with mine. I don't know if its just the angle but your stance looks quite open as opposed to straight on. It kind of looks to me like you're playing inside out on some of the drives and I'm wondering if that could be caused by you compensating as you'e stance isn't square on to begin with.

Does anyone with any coaching experience think that makes sense or am I talking complete rubbish? If its crap then please ignore me.

Nothing wrong with an open stance. I think its fine

Cheers, I wasn't sure if what I'd said made sense or not. In my cow corner obsessed head it did.

PING PONG BALL!!!!!!

try using half a grip  and old one will do fine for the bottom hand   it makes the hand feel fuller and less wanting to grip tighter

Let it come to you. It looks as though it's a small timing issue to me which is then affecting how your bat comes through as GarettJ said. Playing it early as you do also affects your balance which you can see as you take a couple of steps after some shots. Ideally play the shot and hold the pose...

all i will say is lazy elbow on top hand ie elbow tucked in wasit that then pushes bottom hand out then bring bat from 1st slip ish as with frist few shots the should be hit back down the ground  this also makes bottom hand take over

any week 3 video yet??
