it varies depending on line and length but i can guarantee its not random. for example just outside off would be 1.30 and rs shouldn't go below 7.30 o clock.
In the below vid you can see i start with LS at 12 struggle then change to 1.30 or 2 and connect regularly with glance, fine glance wont be possible in that particular delivery as its not angling in. when i change to inswing im able to fineglance easily, its not necessarily need to be inswinger just that when going for fineglance ball going down will be easier, so it will be even more use full say against leftarmers or around wkt bowlers. with inswinger even for square glance a 12-12.30 will work.
once i change the line im able to change footwork to 12-11.30 to connect well.
getting in line with the ball a left hander it would be from 10-11 on ls, right hander 1-2. think apart from that pull animation playing out when the footwork isnt right its reasonably balanced.
this mainly dependent on on all three factor foot work , delivery type and angle and RS direction. RS direction matters a lot but is not the be all.
For ex: for RHB to an out swinger outside off if i play with LS @ 12 o clock, you cover drive will go to cove region if its pointed at say 1-2 it will still go more towards cover, but if my LS is also at 1-2 it will go more towards extra cover since your closer to the ball.
while this may sound like a lot to do, it will kick in with muscle memory as time goes on like driving.
The only thing i would say is observe your LS and RS movements in academy and the resulting shots. The game is really indepth nothing random about it just a lot more variables play a part now like Footwork LS, timing, Bat direction RS, delivery pace and angle, pitch variation etc. give it time, it would be a real shame if we lost this indepth batting gameplay because we dont give it time to tick.
ps; sorry for the encode qualities still playing around with OBS.
