That's a shame. If you're going over to the easy option there's a thread for off-spin/finger spin have a look in there. Also have a look at the Cloverdale videos on youtube, the 2nd video on spin in that series covers finger/off-spin.
 
Re: giving up leg spin

I'd like to say good on you (as an offie myself) but I can't.

Have you looked into other options? If you have been a leggie for years it's more than likely you have some skill at it. As much as it pains me to say it, leggies have much more use in the game than offies, and are more effective.

Have you had any sort of coaching? Perhaps asking more questions around here as well on specific problems you have to start you off as well.

Otherwise I could help you out with off spin.

Two fingers up - two fingers down. Generally a fairly loose grip and the ball is propelled/spun off the 3rd finger (Ring Finger)

Have a look at this you can see how I'm gripping it in this video YouTube - Learning the leg break - spinning the ball - giving it a good flick

Warne talks about it and shows the grip here as well - surely you've seen all these?

Not that had when you post in pretty much every board (worthwhile going into anyway - definitely not those club chat ones ;)) regularly and keep up conversations in all :D

Back on topic -

See you over on the finger spin thread legspinking. Let's see how you fair with the finer of the two spinning arts :p
