Cricket's sixes decoded: Wood on science and gender in power play

Amaravati, October 16, 2025:

In an exclusive chat, cricket data expert Julian Wood dissected the mechanics of boundary-clearing shots, revealing how elite hitters achieve 140 kmph bat speeds and optimal 30-degree launch angles for maximum distance.

He noted men's superior muscle mass gives them an edge in raw velocity, but women's refined timing and spin control often yield comparable results in T20S.

Training, Wood emphasised, blends gym strength with net drills for consistency, focusing on hip rotation and core torque over brute force.
