Beyond the introduction of the spider line it is unnecessary to mention the various steps by which the Gascoigne micrometer assumed the modern forms now in use, or to describe in detail the suggestions of Hooke, 4 Wren, Smeaton, Cassini, Bradley, Maskelyne, Herschel, Arago, Pearson, Bessel, Struve, Dawes, &c., or the successive productions of the great artists Ramsden, Troughton, Fraunhofer, Ertel, Simms, Cooke, Grubb, Clarke and Repsold.
It depends if you're going for a long shot with power or a short shot with power. I'm going to assume you're going for the long shots. Take about 5 steps back at a 7 o clock aâ¦ngle to the ball. Take 3 quick, tiny steps then take a really fast run up.
I place my top hand on the back of the bat just above the height of the middle and use the pace of the ball to ânudgeâ the ball through the 45 degree angle. This technique can also be used to angle through the leg side. Placing your hand on the blade allows greater control and better hand-eye co-ordination.
