'Driving The Hips' Video

Hi,
Could you please tell me if I am 'driving the hips' correctly?

This is the link: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWEwDEHrgzk"]YouTube - Driving The Hips[/ame]

Thanks
 
Re: 'Driving The Hips' Video

From what I can see, that looks right. I would say you're falling away during/after delivery to the off side though, which could impact your pace and accuracy.
 
Re: 'Driving The Hips' Video

Hi Auzayr.

You have the idea but it is not really there yet.

I would like you to practise, using your garden path as a guide, until you can stay on it from beginning to end of your run up. Then video it again from the front [static] and I, or one of the other ABSAT Coaches, will give you some tips.

Although the hip drive is very important, there are a few other components you need to consider.
 
Re: 'Driving The Hips' Video

Hi,
I have worked on what you advised me to do on keeping straight, I have been studying Brett Lee's action and trying to adapt some of the things in my action. I think my hip drive is getting better. Could you kindly for the last time check out the video and these pictures to tell me if my action is correct and hip drive and chest drive + anything else which you could suggest ( sorry for the poor quality it was taken from my phone )

Re: 'Driving The Hips' Video

Hi Auzayr, this may seem like a silly question to you but humour me :D

Would you say you were a side on, mid on or front on bowler?
 
Re: 'Driving The Hips' Video

His follow through in the first action was not straight. But looking at all the older bowlers - they all follow through in a similar manner! they were fast too.........
 
Re: 'Driving The Hips' Video

Liz probably want Auz to answer, but I reckon it's mid, because his backfoot isn't straight nor side on.
 
Re: 'Driving The Hips' Video

Actually yeh I'm probably wrong. I've just always tried to get fully front on myself.
 
Re: 'Driving The Hips' Video

Yeah like : front foot : \ and back foot : __ but that wouldn't be mid on - mid on sounds too good an action name for it. And vice versa - well I don't think anyone can ball like that (front foot: / and back foot: |)
 
Re: 'Driving The Hips' Video

Nah I meant as in the back foot is side on, but you are looking inside the arm, or back foot is front on and you are looking around the arm.
 
Re: 'Driving The Hips' Video

Fantastic Jonesy; really impressed :D

I don't want to say anything a the moment because, as you said, I do want Auzayr to answer but have a look at all the deliveries. Keep your thoughts to yourself for a while though ;)
 
Re: 'Driving The Hips' Video

Yeah could be - but all these people here (and elsewhere) make us do all these things on lining up and so on while all the int'l bowlers get to become famous ppl with some not-so-technically-sound actions! Someone please tell me about this (yeah like the follow thru - never straight, wrist positions, head etc.)
