Batters: This Weird Towel Drill Actually Increases Bat Speed

Published at : 23 Dec 2025

If you want to increase your bat speed, hit the ball harder, and feel more relaxed at the crease—this weird little towel drill might be exactly what you need.

In this video, I break down my favourite bat speed drill for cricketers that requires no bat at all. It’s a simple but powerful way to improve your batting technique, reduce tension in your swing, and learn to generate relaxed, explosive power.

✅ Improve bat speed and timing
✅ Reduce tension in the hands, arms, and shoulders
✅ Learn how to swing faster without swinging harder
✅ Perfect for batters of all ages and skill levels

Who’s this for?
✔️ Cricketers looking to improve bat speed
✔️ Batters who feel tight or restricted at the crease
✔️ Coaches teaching relaxed power and fluid movement
✔️ Players wanting drills to use at home or in warm-ups
