Question

I play cricket but im not sure if i hold the bat right i hold my bottom hand harder than my top i get power?

Answer 1

do whatever feel more comfortable on ur wristz

Answer 2

while batting top hand gives the direction and the bottom hand gives the power. so if u use a light bat then u should hold bottom and harder to get more power and if u r using heavy one hold the bat lightly and just glide the ball to the direction you want. good example of bottom hand player is adam gilchrist . he uses his bottom hand very strongly. thats why he is a power hitter, where as sachin uses a very heavy bat bt he guides the ball very well. just see his flick and u will know what a player he is!!!!!!!

Answer 3

no dont do that

give the weight to bottom hand while playing the uppish drives and to loft the ball

for drives hold the bat gently

give the weight in the upper hand

okies

Answer 4

The first answerer is right.

I've one thing to add.

Place your bat face down on the floor with the handle at the tips of your toes.  Bend down and pick it up with both hands, wearing your batting gloves, of course.  The way that you're holding your bat will be the way that it feels most comfortable in your hands whilst batting.

Batsmen vary.  Even the best have different grips.  The very best are able to change their grip even when facing a delivery.  You must have heard the commentators say "He played that one with soft hands".

OK.  That was two things.
