Hi Manoj,

This is a key skill to have so that you are able to clear the fielders and the boundary for a big score! I`ve included a drill for you below which will take briefly take you through the technique of a lofted drive. Focus on your footwork, as it is essential to have quick feet in the correct way so you can reach the ball.

If you would like to see more drills related to this subject, then use the search bar to search `lofted drive` where you`ll find a number of drills to help you.

Hope that helps!
