In our sessions, I look at your bat speed and follow-through. When you play a pull or a back foot punch, you cannot just muscle the ball-you must guide it with your wrists and let the bat head speed do the work. If you are stopping your bat mid-air, you are losing distance. I fix this by correcting your grip and shoulder rotation in real-time, using our 145kmph RoboArm to simulate real match pace. Modern cricket isn't just about hitting hard; it's about hitting smart. In my academy, I strip away the fluff and focus on the mechanics that actually get you runs. Whether you are 12 or 25, the principles of a good back foot game remain the same: judging the length early, keeping your head still, and committing to the shot. ### The Science of the Shot We don't just stand in the nets and slog. We use video analysis to break down your impact position. Are your wrists rolling over the ball on the cut shot? Is your head falling over on the pull? I record these moments, show them to you, and we shadow-practice until the movement becomes muscle memory. ### Why Practice with High Pace? We use specialized RoboArm tech that hits speeds up to 145kmph. Why? Because you can't learn to play real pace by hitting slow throw-downs. You need to see the ball, respect the bounce, and learn how to use the pace of the bowler to your advantage. My focus is on teaching you to create room without losing your balance. ### Practical Coaching - **Back Foot Punch:** Focusing on weight transfer and punching through the line. - **Pull & Cut:** Mastering the high backlift and wrist roll. - **Range Hitting:** Learning when to commit to the shot and when to defend. This is a process. It is a tapasya. You will fail, you will mistime, but if you listen to the drills and keep your eyes on the ball, you will see the difference in your next match. ## About Brigade Cricket Academy I'm Gourav.
