@steyn92 - not a coach or anything, but here's a list of things I spotted that I can see as being potential symptoms of some root technical issues:
- Path of bat swing
- Very little adjustment in foot movement (Potentially pre-emptive foot planting)
- Hips seem to open up a bit too often and too soon - this means you're kind of forcing yourself to play more legside, so some of the offside shots you're offbalanced, and often playing in the air. (On the contrary, seemed to be fairly strong on the pull to midwicket.)
They say facing a bowling machine is about 5mph quicker than facing an actual bowler - if 70mph is what you'd normally face, maybe have a net at 65mph to see how you fare? (I rarely do any bowling machine work due to the availability of it) Perhaps the deliveries are a touch quicker, hence why you got into a pre-emptive footwork.
I think if I try remember back to when I've had net sessions where this has been the case, my training partner would tell me to try play beside the ball, and to hit it into the ground. If it's full, then make sure I cash out and hit it as hard as I can into the ground, while maintaining my shape. This would achieve a couple of things:
- Would ensure I watch the path of the ball, and not get stuck on planting, as I need to get 'beside' the ball.
- Ensure that I stay side on as long as I possibly could - this will make sure that the path of my batswing is as straight as possible
- Would ensure that I am playing as late as possible - my goal is to hit it into the ground, and thus eliminating the risk of being caught
- Ensure that I am confident in cashing out on the full deliveries. That's my absolute bread and butter and I want to make sure I make the most of my best scoring shot
If you join the discord and post up there, I do feel the community is a lot more responsive there than on CBF.
Will be plenty on there to say I'm talking rubbish too I'm sure, but thought I'd stick my neck out for you here haha
