Grip- holding a bat

Hi guys

I wanted to know what are the pro's and cons of holding a bat with both hands apart i.e. one at the bottom of the bat and one at the top.

I hold the bat this way and i know most players hold the bat with both hands close together.

but what are the negatives of holding the bat with the hands apart.

thank you

More likely to dominate with the bottom hand which means less control of the blade and hitting the ball in the air, would stick em together if I were you.

TBH I did this for a long time before I realised it was probably a contributing factor to me being rubbish with the bat, so am trying to change it. I'd change it now just because like Hoggy said, you get way too bottom-handed, and I imagine it'd be easier to change earlier than later.
