Hi Neil,

Firstly, take a look at the article on our latest newsletter on correct errors.  I have now put it as a Blog titled Correcting Errors as well in case you are not a subscriber.

Then take a look at a previous Ask the Coach Question on Learning Technique.

Next, focus on the weight on your left leg at the point when your bat hits the ball. Give youself a rating like described in the Learning Technique question.  You will be amazed at the results.
