Re: Pace Bowling-Variations
The slob, as mentioned on here by FBI (I think), basically, a looping, dipping slower ball.

Yes it was FBI... I wonder if he managed to tame it

Re: Pace Bowling-Variations
We had an overseas who used to use something similar, not really sure what kind of success he had with it though.

Sweet. Looks difficult but if the ball is able to deceive the batsman as it says it does then I'd be more than keen to try it out. I'll wait and see how it goes tomorrow.Liz Ward;274181 said:Yes it was FBI... I wonder if he managed to tame it

Re: Pace Bowling-Variations
Yeah recently I've tried one way. You have your ring finger on top of the ball instead of your middle finger, the knuckle on the middle finger rests on the ball. Still working on it.breeno;274238 said:

Re: Pace Bowling-Variations
I bowl a part-time medium. It's OK. I bowl a good quicker ball but my slower ball is week when I try it. I usually just spider grip it (in the palm, wrap the fingers right around). It's alright, but usually too slow or I drop it in too short - or in extreme circumstances both. Any tips?

Re: Pace Bowling-Variations
Practice, practice and then practice. Get used to the grip first, don't worry too much about the end product.
Once you're happy with that move on to getting it to land where you want. Set up a marker or target then it's more practice. Eventually introduce a batsman and try to replicate a game situation, so you get used to using the slower ball under pressure.
The key is practice.

Re: Pace Bowling-Variations
I have one i developed even though I'm a spinner.
Hard to explain, but easy to bowl.
Pretty much you hold the ball with the seam going horizontal ( ----->) that way, with your hands cupped around it, with all five fingers on the seam.
Upon release, I cut my arm down and turn my hand so it's like I'm about to shake someones hand, and if you do it enough, it's like a really fast off break, which is easy to get on target, hard to pick, and turns more than an off-cutter.

Re: Pace Bowling-Variations
Well, I don't, but you could.
upon release I act like I'm chopping something and I bring my arm across my body, causing the ball to spin to the right.
It can also help if you have your wrist cocked, to generate more spin.
