What is a correct cricket batting grip and stance?
A sound grip puts both hands' Vs on the splice or slightly toward the outer edge, and a sound stance puts the feet about shoulder width apart with the weight on the balls of the feet and the head inside the base. The test is not how it looks but what it permits: from a good base you can move forward or back with the same degree of effort. amp scores four things here, worth 11 points of 100.

These are the criteria as amp scores them. Reading your own footage against them is free and always will be — what amp adds is doing it the same way every week, so the change between one session and the next is a number rather than an impression. Apply for the pilot.
