Should we swing ourselves around waist so that we can maintain right angle between forearm & shoulder during whole motion ?

Hi Sumeet,

You can use your waist during the stroke to generate more speed.   The shoulder does work as well and the bat comes up towards your head.

When you need to reach that really wide ball the regular shuffle step just won't get you there in time so you need to use the crossover step. This is essentially a running action to get you to the ball as fast as possible.

I get it . The right angle should be maintained but arm should go up pivoted at shoulder. It is nice to learn techniques from olympians. Thanks a lot.
