Tracking all the way

Strokes

Byron Polinga Asked 13 years ago

Do I really need to look at the bat when hitting the ball or its enough to just feel it? which is better?

Hi Byron,

It is really difficult to actually watch the ball all the way to your own bat. Make the attempt to track it as far as you can. Usually the last few centimetres you will do by memory and feel. As long as you are tracking the ball the best you can then you will become more consistent.
