Hi guys, this is my first post but have been reading the forum with great interest.
My son is 10 and has been bowling leg spin for over a year. He is quite accurate and tries to spin the ball hard.
He holds the ball with the conventional "2 up 2 down" grip along the seam and he gets a bit of turn (about 6") but the ball is not rotating along the seam in the air - it is scrambled.
However, when he holds the ball across the seam with a "2 up 2 down grip", the seam points towards the slips and the ball rotates along it. Consequently he gets a lot of turn and bounce.
Is there an issue with his release or his wrist position at the point of delivery?
