i think the Monty think does happen occassionally, but it is just trying to get out of a bad habit, however, when I do follow through, I dont think I am rotating properly. It is uploading now, so should be up shortly.

To be honest Dave I think I am confusing myself, I think I have a good run up, which you commented on on Youtube a couple of days ago, I have only just checked it and have replied now. I don't know whether I can still be upright (like I am now) with the lower arm, or whether I should be dropping...

I did notice that I sprayed a lot of balls down the leg side, why is this? Opening up early? The front arm? That might need answering after I post the video

I think I am posting a video tomorrow if I can edit and get it up in time! I am trying to adapt my arm because of inconsistency! I think I need to drop the shoulder in order to lower the arm, however, I dont want to change too much at once and confuse myself, I still need to land flat, sort out...

Went to nets today and videoed, found things that I didnt realise were there. I'll get to that later. Some trouble lowering my arm, looked at footage from today and saw sometimes my arm was not even lowered, however I do remember they were the worse of the balls (phew) However, towards the end...

I am pretty sure my run up is solid now, It is more of what happens at the crease which is the problem. However I am sometimes stop starty with my run up, taking off on a different foot sometimes, which must stop. Like MacGill, says you need repitition, repitition, repitition.

Find an action that works for me, without consistent drag downs or full tosses, like I said earlier I bowl 2/3 good balls the rest are drag downs or full tosses, hopefully lowering the arm will help me find a good line and length more frequently.

Thanks for the help guys I appreicate it! I will give it a go when I go to nets and video it!

I have got use to the high arm now, but I just feel it offers me probably 2/3 good pitches balls, with the others dragged short or too full so I feel that it time for an adaption, however it does offer a good top spinner, and my googly always pitches well and spins without the batsman picking...

Will do Dave. I'll have another go on Sunday, I'll drop the shoulder lower and that should help my arm!

Hi Guys, Did some bowling on the driveway yesterday, only bowling from crease position where I practiced dropping my bowling arm so that I wasn't bowling and trying to spin the ball from near my ears, I practiced and also videoed, when it came to the video, I saw my arms was at no different...

Dad's account is @Slow Steady Steve Thanks for all the replies so far :)

Hi GoldenArm, Thanks for the kind words. I have fortunately got the book and will be making sure I read every word of it before the season arrives. I do agree with what you said about the high arm being a reason for inconsistency and you're not the only one to say it, I have just wrote a post...

October half term and 2 weeks off from school, perfect! Last season I had 3 major problems with my bowling, all in the approach which affected my bowling massively. They were, head position, front arm being out (like macgill's video and a few of my videos) and also looking at the crease as I...

Hi Guys, My Dad is 50 this year and is an opening medium pace bowler for our team, he regularly bowls his allocated 12 overs bowling inswingers. He is looking for advice on how to stay fit over the winter, he already bikes 6 miles a day and does a physical job. Any help on this subject with...

Should my front foot be in line with my back foot, instead of crossed over? Is this messing up the alignment? I have also been thinking about reducing the height of my bound, as I think I am losing momentum in my run up with it.

Sure, its here! There are plenty of bowling videos to look at! And no I do not have any form of dyspraxia! The bottom link is super slow motion of the last ball in the first video! I would recommend watching the video on Youtube for quality reasons! @Liz Ward

I mean like this, should the front arm be like this? @someblokecalleddave @boogiespinner @Liz Ward, I feel like I should have more front arm more towards my face, these are screenshots of front foot and front arm. https://gyazo.com/e0296c9441bd9738619e17843a5d41ef...

If the front arm is to the side of the your head, is the front foot facing straight? If the front arm is in line with your head, is the front foot facing towards fine leg? Which is more beneficial?

I am similar to what you just said boogiespinner. I bring the back foot over, it lands with my bowling shoulder facing the batsman, and then I get into a position ready for a return catch.
