Re: Help plzz!!

never hold it loose or the bat just might fly from your grip. :laugh: you should hold it the way you feel comfortable. i hold it reasonably tight.

Hold it tightly with the top hand and loose with the bottom.

If you are a slogger or a hard hitter of the ball, hold it tightly with the bottom and loose with the top. If you are a slow player and are going to look for singles and doubles and find gaps, get the top hand tight and bottom hand loose.

So would u recommend that Top hand should be in control?

Re: Help plzz!!

I've always understood that the top hand should be the control - ie be the firmer of the two hands and should control the pick up.

Even agressive batsmen talk about the top hand as the stronger of the two. I believe that the famous squash ball, in the bottom handed glove, that Gilchrist used in the World Cup final was an aide to loosen a strong bottom hand. Seemed to work!

my bottom hand is in control and my top hand guides the line!

Some might say that guiding the line is being in control

Re: Help plzz!!

i'm always in control! just sometimes the opposition is clever enough to put fielders in my way!
