4:14 - nearly stumped; otherwise, good batting!

unbalanced in nearly all of your shots. You should be able to hold form for 3 seconds after a shot to know that you are balanced.

^^ Lazza is spot on there.

I know this as I am trying to correct the same issue. You know you are unbalanced when you end up walking after playing a shot or sometimes while in the shot. Some drills with checked drive where you hold your position as if admiring yourself in the mirror may help.

other than that, you seem to have a good eye and have a range of shots.

Most important thing is not to overthink this and if something is working for you, do not try to change too much too soon.

not sure about the balance issue - I think you look pretty solid. If I was coaching you I would possibly ask you to try standing a little taller in your stance - you may find that it helps you will pick the ball up a little sooner and get into slightly better position to play - which will give you more time to play your shots.

You have a slight tendency to plant your front foot straight down the pitch too - but that is something to also think about.

Is it in slow motion? Not making a dig or anything but the ball flight and your movement look like its in jelly!

You know I was thinking the same...I think it's a smidge slowed down for some reason

Thanks Buzz. Can I still do the bat tap while staying tall?

Definitely - take a look at that Mark Waugh video that got posted the other day, against the quicks his bat is held low as was discussed, but isn't touching the floor at the point of delivery. Remember this being discussed on commentary by Boycott/Nicholas on James Franklin's test debut (iirc) when he was scoring runs years ago, if you're tall enough that you can't actually tap your bat on the ground when in your final stance without crouching and spoiling your stance, don't! You can still hold that type of position with your bat low, but not actually touching the floor.

does not seem like you are putting power in the ball.
