Was doing some shadow batting and was thinking about backlifts. Interested to see how different everyone's backlift is.
As a certified shithousing tailender ^TM , I mess around with my backlfit a lot but I usually stay around 30* above parallel with the ground and hold the bat a bit away from my body

I was/am a decent bowling all rounder who could defend. So I kept my backlift as low as possible, so that I could defend. Usually my normal innings in a unlimited match is 30(75), so that may give an idea. lol
Vihari real id se aa.
I am a decent bat and prefer a pronounced backlift
Mostly I play 20 over games and it demands me to go boom boom most of the times and high backlift is somehow hailed better for this purpose
360°
I'm more of a touch player and accumulator so generally my backlift is a bit lower than other people's so that I can defend and nudge the ball into gaps easier. I try not to overthink it because otherwise I just create problems.
When I'm playing in my gully, higher than snoop dogg lol. About 30 degrees above horizontal normally but if I'm playing some shots I take it back up to 50 degrees then play my shot. I am quite an aggressive batsman usually so that helps me clear the rope easier.
I am a bowling all rounder bat at 6-8 so I have a backlift approximately the height where bails are there I hope u get it
Pretty high. I'd say 40-45° above parallel. I've tried low backlifts but they just don't work for me. With the high backlift, my hands are in the right place, I have a good grip and I just feel comfortable. I know people say it's not a good thing, but I just can't bat with a low backlift ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Speaking of grip, I've been working on trying to fix mine. I used to put both hands next to each other, somewhere around the top-middle of the handle. Trying to transition to having my right hand closer to the base of the handle
I don't really pay that much attention to it. I just hold it the way I feel comfortable. I don't think I can explain this, but if I'm holding it in a different position than my usual, I feel like I can't bat at all. It's weird. So yeah, don't think too much about grip. Just keep trying and hopefully you'll find your "hands" Lol
