I'm posing this question if this has plagued someone else out there and could help me. I seem to keep getting out by top-edging my flick shots or even lofted shots where I seem to be closing the blade of my bat, especially early on in the innings since I usually open the batting. Even when I last further down the innings my mode of dismissal, more often lately, has been the aforementioned way.
The flick shot used to be my favorite shot early on in my playing career. I have tried changing my grip to where the bat face tends to be more open than closed at address but that has not really helped me. The only other thing I just thought of, was the slightly open stance that I have adopted in recent times. Perhaps, that is causing me to close the bat face a bit sooner than I intend. I haven't yet tried to make my stance a bit closed to see if I can get rid of my bane of the mode of dismissal.
But any pointers would be helpful if my problem strikes a chord with any of you.
Thanks,
