How tightly should I grip my bat?
Hi Derek,
Grip the bat as lightly as you can without dropping it.
By gripping lightly you relax the hand and wrist allowing you to do more with the bat.
When you need to reach that really wide ball the regular shuffle step just won't get you there in time so you need to use the crossover step. This is essentially a running action to get you to the ball as fast as possible.
