Batting Shots |
|

Defense is the first consideration of a batsman, but
it is so only that he may get opportunities for hitting. The first point in
hitting is to insure the flight of the ball from that part of the bat which
will propel it farthest.
The next thing is to time the hit so as to catch the ball just as the bat is
moving at its greatest velocity, and this can only be done by hitting as late
as possible, not with a heavy dead swing of the bat, like the sway of a sack,
but with a sharp rapid action, as though wielding a switch.
In striking a ball as it passes, i.e., from an erect position, the whole power
of the hit comes from the swing of the bat; but in forward hitting from the
position of forward play, the main power is derived from a sudden thrust of the
right arm and shoulder, meeting the ball just as in shoulder-hitting, in
boxing.
