Also are you falling over a bit with your stance? You need to make sure your 100% balanced.

DarrenTalbotCricket said:I don't think it's necessarily the problem that you are getting too far across, more that maybe you are not getting far enough forward or are committing yourself to a back foot shoot by being unbalanced at your trigger movement.
A common problem I am finding with young batsman is that their initial trigger movement is causing them to have their weight unbalanced and not allowing them to move with equal ease to a front or back foot shot.
It is crucial that at the point of delivery you are in a position to move to either front or back foot without having to redistribute your body weight.
A good practice for this is to work on being "light on your feet". If you watch boxers when they train, they skip around on their feet from side to side quite quickly enabling themselves to be able to duck and weave the punches whilst still being balanced. It's the same principle for a batsman but with a ball instead of a fist!
