Aims of the practice
To drive the ball successfully along the gound in the V towards the target area. This shows you how to play an attacking shot off the front foot and score runs without getting out. The safest drives are the straightest ones.

  • Take a good step forward towards the ball. (Weight over front foot.)
  • With dominant top hand and diamond shape formed with arms. Swing bat through the line of the ball. (Forearms passing close to the body.)
  • Strike ball forward of front pad, directly below eye level.
  • Keep leading elbow high, throughout the shot.
  • Top hand dominates throughout the shot, bottom hand assists on impact. (Bottom hand fingers and thumb grip.)
    • Finish the shot with high hands, with toe of bat pointing towards target area.
