Bowling Videos

Hi guys

Here are 3 videos of me bowling in the net near my house. I apologize in advance for the darkness of the video as it was getting dark by the time my brain engaged and thought it might be a good idea to film my bowling. I'll try and get some lighter one's in the day early next week.

I've been really struggling with getting the length right recently, not too bad on the line, but i'm dropping way too many short and getting creamed. On the videos from behind and from the side the first ball is what i'm talking about - I normally try and get good loop on the ball but it's like i'm dragging the ball down but I don't know why. It's almost a half tracker, and any decent batsman in our league is going to put that in the next field. The third ball from behind is probably the best ball I bowled all night!

Any suggestions on sorting this would be great.

Regards

James P

Re: Bowling Videos

I see what you mean about dropping it slightly short - has to be a mixture of release and trying to put revs on the ball, meaning it's dropping short.

Have you tried putting a target down to aim for? A sheet of A4 is an ideal starting point.

Re: Bowling Videos

VB, it would be better if he posts video's in a separate thread because more people would view it because people like me don't go in the wrist-spin bowling thread.
