How to GRIP a cricket bat | Mark Ramprakash Batting Masterclass

In the first episode of our brand new coaching series - Wisden's Essentials of Batting - Mark Ramprakash gives a masterclass on the best way to grip a cricket bat.
The former England cricketer and batting coach explains why it's so important to have a solid grip, outlining the basics and revealing the reasoning behind Sachin Tendulkar's low grip, Alec Stewart's high grip and his own personal technical preference.
Keep your eyes peeled for new videos coming soon, including masterclasses on the art of defence, the cover drive, playing spin and how to hit sixes.

Hi i have a 9 year old son who is doing well but a new coach has told him to put his hands together near the bottom of the handle which has made him hit the ball much harder however it has impacted his touch play , i never played cricket so have just followed all the coaches he has had but my son does not like his new grip do you have any advice please?

[@heshaamqureshi3298]

ur son should use what is most commfortable, the grip ur coach recommended was the type of grip only power hitters use not proper batsmen, in my opinion u should continute ur son with his current delivery unless its really bad, in my opinion having ur hands in the middle is the best and most balanced

[@boombs7232]

Its him who will play not the coach
Tell him to do the way in which he is comfortable in

I was always told that the hands closer to the bottom meant more control but less power. He could be wrong tho,​@@heshaamqureshi3298
