How important is trigger movement?

Isn't the trigger to assist in getting the weight transfer right. So the higher level and the quicker bowling you face, the quicker your weight transfer has to be. This really supports the fact, at the lower level, keep still and watch the ball. Keep the game easy and reduce the external factors - trigger, head positon, etc. Batting can be hard enough without complicating it with 'Pro' factors...
 
Re: How important is trigger movement?

However much you move in your trigger at the point of delivery, your head has to be as still as possible to assess line, length and pace.
Watch the Pro's. they all seem to move into a 'comfortable' position early and then wait for the ball. It really is a personal matter, 'to trigger or not to trigger'?
I like to get moving my feet early and press forward, even against the quicks, being short makes it easy to duck the short stuff, when on the front foot.
This really is a personal matter and you could try using a bowling machine to take anyway external factors of inconsistancy in bowling, to test and adjust your own feelings.
