These questions are all related to Leg Spin:
1.How important is the arm speed in creating revolutions on the ball?
2. How to spin the ball hard and not lose flight/ a nice speed?
3. How important is pivoting at the right time?
4. Will bowling slower be easier to get into rhythm and spin the ball?
5. Will a high arm mean less side spin?
5a. Will a high arm mean less energy on the ball because I am not coming round the seam?
5b. Will lowering my arm make it easier to always pitch right? (High arm more liable to full tosses and drag down, because of the opening of the body too early?
6. How loose should the ball be in the fingers?
6a. If the ball is looser in the hands will it be easier to release and therefore get more revolutions?
6b. Which is more important? The flicking of the wrist in getting spin or the fingers?
7. Chest on or Side on? The benefits of both?
8. Which tempo of approach to get in rhythm and be able to spin the ball?
9. Short or long run up better?
10. How to get more energy in action to help follow through?
11. After flicking the wrist to bowl a leg spinner, should the palm finish facing down?
12. At the point of release, for a leg spinner, should the wrist be cocked at the angle where you can see your palm? (So the wrist is flopped down) Like Warne's in this video at 3.07.
This is in relation to the first picture on my recent blog, where B boogiespinner pointed out about my release point.
13. Front arm pull down towards target? How does this help?
14. Should the front arm be pulled down fast or slow?
15. This could be a long answer, but simply, how to spin the ball more and what are the factors in getting the ball to spin more/getting more revolutions on the ball throughout the action?
I know there is a lot of questions but if you get the time please reply, desperate to make myself a better leg spinner, and as well all know in the cricket community, it is a very difficult art.
