Hi
friends,
Hope we
are doing practice of previous episode tips and getting benefited, with our
past blogs, we have discussed about back foot drills like Defense, Drive, Pull,
Back foot punch skills.
There
are few more shots which can be played on back foot, i.e. Hook Shot, Late Cut,
Upper Cut etc,
Hook
Shot is the only shot which is played in air only on short pitch or bouncer
balls, There will be two results of this shot, Either you will got the maximum
run with this shot or you will catch out at boundary, You may be safe if lucky
enough to lend at no man land.
Now will
going to tell about Hook Shot -
“The Term hook shot is used when the shot is played against a ball bouncing at or above chest high to the batsman, the batsman thus "hooking" the ball around behind square leg, either along the ground or in the air.”
“The Term hook shot is used when the shot is played against a ball bouncing at or above chest high to the batsman, the batsman thus "hooking" the ball around behind square leg, either along the ground or in the air.”
The most
important thing in this shot is – Focus on ball or eye watching till the last
moment you are
hitting the ball, Remember one this, this shot is to safe guard your body first
and to score runs with safety.
I
further suggest that this is only introduction of this shot here to know about,
you may not follow this shot with small kids, as they cannot control the bounce
of the ball at this age and there back foot balance is also not so strong, So
only show case this shot in video but have to practice later,
I am
attaching some picture here and sharing some you tube links to watch the Hook
shot is all about.
In our
next episode, we will discuss or learn about Late cut and Upper cut shot..
Keep
tuned keep learning keep practicing
Happy
Summer vacations to the Kids………….
