Keep hitting the toe

Keep hitting the toe

When im batting at any time, i tend to keep hitting the toe of the bat. I do get it in the middle every now and again, but a majority of the time i keep hitting the toe, thus damaging my bat, as recently my MRF snapped half way down from the V.

Does this mean i am playing the ball to late/early or.........

Quick help would be appreciated

Dont really know what to say besides maybe your playing the wrong shot to the wrong ball?

Timing or Shot selection is most likely the issue, you'll have help within a day or two mate.

This may sound really obvious but have you got the right sized bat for the way you play?

I know you are quite tall, if this is a result of a relatively recent spurt, you may not have become used to the extra length of your limbs so you may be misjudging contact.

It seems that you play a bit late.

It does sound like that. Would love to see a video of that though. Very odd.

The video will let us know about the problem exactly.

I've had this problem once and it was because I had started to get too low in my stance for some reason.
