Batting Tips - How to Play a Pull Shot

The pull shot is played to a short delivery that bounces commonly and rises in the middle of the batsman's waist and shoulders. The line of the ball must be within reach of the batsman on the off, middle or leg side.

-Backlift:

Fluke

Lift the bat before the bowler releases the ball in line with the middle and off stump. At the top of the back-lift the blade opens and swings back horizontally behind your head.

-Head and shoulder movement:

Head moves back and across inside or face the line of the ball. The shoulder follows and opens slightly towards mid-on. Keep your head steady and eyes level.

-Foot movement:

Back foot moves back and across in/or face the line of the ball leaving the front foot on the batting crease, pointing towards mid-off.

-Weight change and body position:

As the ball is hit there is a weight change from the back foot onto the front foot which must now be drawn back in line with the back foot as the body opens. The equilibrium should be transmit towards the pitch of the ball.

-Bat swing:

The bat swings down horizontally from behind the head hitting the ball with your arms fully extended. Close the face of your bat over the ball at the palpate point with the wrists rolling the bat over the ball, hitting it down. The bat follows straight through over your front shoulder. If pulled correctly it can go from square up to a wide mid-on.

-Common Faults:

-Backing away to leg.

-Attempting to pull the wrong ball.

-Lofting the stroke.

-No weight change from right foot back onto left foot.

-Right foot - too closed.

-Not rolling the wrist at impact.

-Arms tucked into body.

-Trying to hit the ball too hard.
