Re: Wrist Spin Bowling (Part Two)
With the videos on the other thread - Yeah I reckon you've set a pretty decent standard there for me to supercede! But I reckon they could be bettered even by yourself. Jim with respect I'm not that particularly interested with seeing the end result, I know you bowl sliders and Leg Breaks and you yourself know when you're bowling well and not so well. What I'm looking for is the technical details of the release, the position of the wrist at release and evidence of the Big Flick which I'm becoming ever sceptical about even exists in most peoples bowling. I want to to see where the wrist is and how it leaves the fingers and most importantly the wrist flicking and the ball snapping out of the fingers like a whiplash and the ball then coming out of the hand with the seam spinning 90 degrees to the direction of flight. Not that I can do any of this myself in the way that I want it demonstrated. With regards the potential of myself getting a camera I'm working on getting the college to get two of them for the students/courses and it looks pretty likely at the minute so I may be able to shoot dual angle images if it comes together. But yeah you've definitely raised the bar with your shots. As Macca says if we can get this right between us all we're going to have one hell of an on-line resource!!
How have you set up a trigger on the actual camera - Gaffer Tape sounds very crude or did you have an assistant?
