Power Hitting Masterclass Part 1: Hands

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

Children are in very high risk position during that bag hitting. Please get some gym weight plate to hold on to the bag instead of children’s stopping it with their feet.
One miss or error in concentration by the little batter and the kid on the other end will be off to emergency with potentially long term head injury

Thanks for you concern. The boys in this video are experienced cricketers and knew exactly how to perform the drill safely. As ever, feel free to adapt any drill to suit your players, that's good coaching. No one was in any danger here.
