Strokes
How tightly should I grip my bat?
Hi Derek,
Grip the bat as lightly as you can without dropping it.
By gripping lightly you relax the hand and wrist allowing you to do more with the bat.
The strawberry flick is the opposite of the banana flick and involves utilising the wrist to get the ball spinning with topspin and sidespin. Used in conjunction with the banana flick it can be very deceptive. The banana flick is a more reliable stroke and that's why you see more top players using it over the strawberry flick.
