Connection point on the bat

Should I always try to hit the ball in the centre of the bat - or doesn't it matter?

Thanks

Hi Joan,

Initially the middle is the best place to aim for on the bat.

As you become more proficient you can start to change the spot.  Closer to the leading edge of the bat will give you more spin.
