not moving my front foot into line
i am a left hand batsman and currently bat at no.3 for my club side and after a very good start to the season have found that in recent games i am struggling to get to the pitch of the ball and am stretching to hit the ball if it is slightly wide thus hitting the ball in the air through the covers or point area.
i also seem to be moving my front leg down middle stump instead of getting it across to off stump thereby being more in control.

You have kind of answered your own question there. Move your head towards the line of the ball and let your feet follow. Cut out the square drive and aim towards mind on or mid off instead. Present the full face and wait for the ball. Maintain your shape through the shot.
