My Bowling Video

Hey guys,

This is a video of my bowling action, I dont know what is wrong with it but it
seems pretty ineffective.
Its not my proper run up cos the backyard isnt big enough:D

Any help would be great thanks
 
Re: My Bowling Video

Sorry Jack, I have revisited this video several times today but unfortunately, at the point of bfc you are a *little* overexposed ;)

Any chance of taking another video at a different time of day?
 
Re: My Bowling Video

:(Sorry about that Liz, I will redo another video when its not so sunny:)

Added 22 hour(s), 58 minute(s) and 24 second(s) later...

Heres a video without the sun:D

Re: My Bowling Video

Sorry guys... Jack, you're a side on bowler... and yes, your upper body is far too 'open' for your action.

There is not too much wrong with your action Jack but what is wrong is major, however, you can correct it easily.

I like your run up very much.

Keep your feet parallel at all times; your front foot places directly in front of your back foot at the moment.

Be more economical with your bowling arm and keep both hands within peripheral vision at the apex of the action.

Here's the major bit: Bring your right forearm across your body more so that you are looking to the right of it; make sure the forearm stays vertical, which will bring your right shoulder round more.

When you feel you can do this comfortably, post another video and we shall work from there.

Ok thanks very much for that liz, I will probably go to the nets tommorow if the weather is dry, and I will work on my action.:)

Is this what you mean by bringing my right arm(non bowling arm) across my body?
 
Re: My Bowling Video

Ok so i went to the nets today and worked on getting my right forearm the way you said Liz,

Any comments would be great and please excuse the long grass:biggrin

I must of been looking at the steps after the action, because I swear I saw his back foot point straight when I saw it!

Re: My Bowling Video

Better Jack... well done!

You need to bring the elbow round a bit more; try to keep the forearm [from elbow to wrist] vertical. If you can do this and still look to the right of it, you know you've got it.

I know this is not quite the way Lillie does it but if you look at his shoulder and elbow, you will see how far round he brings them.
