I would add that back foot parallel with he back crease is really important. If you come from seam bowling this will be counter intuitive (and would give you back issues pretty quickly if you did this as a seam bowler). Ideal once the back foot lands you are looking past or around your front (none bowling) arm and are almost completely side on.
Hi Andy ive just found your channel and now im going to watch all of your videos, i have been trying to get my head around how to spin the ball for years ive never been able to do it and noone has ever explained it to me this clearly. Ive always kept my thumb on the ball and i think thats been my problem! I cant wait to try out some of your techniques in the morning! Thanks very much mate
I would say particularly for those with smaller hands. Thumb on during the run up and load is ok. As long as the thumb comes off before you pivot and release. During your run up and load it really doesn’t matter. Sometimes having your thumb on until late in the action can make you feel more comfortable and most Importantly allow your index and middle finger to relax right up until the point where you need them to start imparting revs on the ball. Having tense index and middle finger will likely stop you spinning the ball as much, or even at all.
During run up and load it's Ok to have thumb on the ball. It's at delivery it needs to be off the ball. I tend to take my thumb off at load up, when my bowing arm is parallel to the ground. It's a mental thing. Security. I know I have the ball held correctly and the seam in the right position. I don;t think about it, my thumb just comes off at that point and always has.
When I bowl the balls seam moves backward because my wrist turns back and the ball goes like a arm ball seam facing 1 slip or it the seam goes sideways but the seam does not go forward i have tried but I cannot fix it please help me
I used to be able to turn a ball square, but after a break of 10 years, when I try to bowl offspin today I keep under cutting the ball. I still am able to impart a lot of revs, but at he point of release I keep cocking my wrist, this results in a floater. Any exercises I can do to counter this?
