batning

Batning refers to the practice of using bats in a sporting context. This typically involves hitting a ball with a bat, a common element in many sports such as baseball, softball, cricket, and table tennis. The design and material of the bat vary greatly depending on the specific sport. In baseball and softball, bats are usually made of wood or aluminum and are used to strike a relatively large, hard ball. Cricket bats, while also used for striking a ball, have a distinctive flat face and a thicker profile. Table tennis, on the other hand, uses a much smaller paddle, often referred to as a bat, to hit a lightweight ball. The term "batting" itself encompasses the action of swinging the bat to make contact with the ball, with the objective of scoring runs or points through strategic placement or powerful hits. The skill involved in batting requires hand-eye coordination, timing, and an understanding of the ball's trajectory.
