When it comes to the bat path and how the bat comes through it can definitely affect the outcome of the shot, if the bat is at a diagonal position the bat is facing upwards which means you will hit the ball in the air, if the bat angle is horizontal you have more control over the shot and you are more than likely to hit the ball on the ground.

The pivot helps to transfer that extra bit of weight and power into the stroke and can help you not to loose your balance.

To follow through all the way just finishes the shot off and completes the action by allowing for maximum power and transferal of weight.

The hook shot is very similar to the mid wicket pull but it is how the shot is played and where the shot is played that makes the difference between the hook and the mid wicket pull.
