How To Get Dip?

[Mubarak Zeb]

Hi, I am a leg spinner, I have got very good turn, but no dip . I can turn the ball pretty much but it will pitch outside leg and move towards slip without dipping towards the stumps.

Is it because of my runner-up, action, or else?

Many Thanks!

Bingo. Top spin is 90% what generates dip. Try taking a little pace off the ball as well, that can also accentuate the effect of the top spin, the other 10% if you like.

Exactly! And don't try to bowl flat, toss the ball high enough in the air for the top spin to cause a lot of dip.
