Power Hitting Masterclass
Part One - Hands
#cricket #CCCricketUK #powerhitting #batting

This series of videos was filmed at our masterclass sessions held in 2023. We covered 4 topics over 4 weeks and each topic is split into a number of sections.
Here’s power hitting part one - hands
There’s a few small changes to the traditional setup that allow for power hitting. We cover these positions of the hands first and put them into action with a couple of simple contact drills

In the stance the hands align to the back hip, this makes extension easier
In the backlift the top hand arm extends fully to create length in the swing
Cock the wrists to get the bat into an upright position, the bat should feel weightless
This big back swing allows maximum power to be generated from a power position seen in other sport such as golf or baseball

We practised the positions using a simple underarm feed and a smash bag
The underarm feeds are good for getting used to the timing of the backswing movements
The smash bag gives feedback on impact and the big swing should generate more power at that moment
