Try putting your front foot out to the leg side and drive as if you was playing on off drive.

Well, You obveously have a closed stands, basics, front elbow facing bowler, a V shaped grip, and not using your bottom hand at all, other than just for control. That could be good. Most time i see this, it will be because of very low back-lifts, try a high backlift which would assit in delicate shots like glads especially given the way i think you take your stands. You also probable cant pull, if you do not want to open your stands a little-bit, back-foot on middle stump and front foon on leg stump or two-leg that is, then opt for a higher backlift, I always think it helps although most people are discouraging it. Hope you fine this of assistance.

I am a decent batsmen who comes in the middle order. But my weakness is my inability to play leg side shots. When the ball is pitched up and iz on middle n leg I just can't seem to connect becuase my pad gets in the way. Does anyone have any tips on how to adjust to allow myself more room?
