new action Mid sept 2011.wmv Posted by: someblokecalleddave1 Video duration: 114 seconds 1 step forwards 2 steps back. A far better run up now, but now I'm too front on and I'm not getting up on to the ball of my front foot. But overall far better than a year ago when I had the skip issue.

By: someblokecalleddave1. on 12 Nov 11, 21:16:47 On the forum I use, I was linked to an? on-line coaching resource and uploaded a video there and some of the coaches on there advised me to tweak my action slightly and this is as far as I got. The general consensus was that this is an improvement. The evidence in the turn, accuracy and drift I'm now beginning to get backs that up as well, so whilst it doesn't look as dynamic it is working for me. What happened to ...

By: w0033944. on 03 Aug 11, 17:00:28 I reckon so, Dave - looking at your? shoulders, they're rotating towards the target rather than around - you're getting up on the front foot more, there's more apparent flow and rhythm to your action and more impetus through the delivery I reckon. yeah this pivot ...

I'm not 100% sure. The thing I'm ... By: someblokecalleddave1. on 03 Aug 11, 14:59:29 The thing I'm primarily working with is this rising up on the toe and twisting. Liz Ward says it's essential and watched our club leggie last night doing it and he does it perfectly. It's a fairly easy thing to do, so I'm trying to add the tuck as well and whipping the? arm over and all this seems to be adding a bit of drift and dip which is good. No it's the right ... By: someblokecalleddave1. on 03 Aug 11, 14:55:48 No it's the right one, the one that has to land side-ways out of the bound, it's usually okay for bowling it's other things like fielding that cause problems - trying to run with the knees bent to get low to retrieve a ball as last night at my kids practice session, that causes? the problems. It's a bit sore today because of that - but not bad. The arm I've worked on a bit today. I'll work with it a bit more and shoot some more vids in a week or so and see if I can get the arm right. Continued... Which knee have you ... By: w0033944. on 03 Aug 11, 14:42:38 Which knee have you injured, Dave? If it's your left, I'd imagine this lack of pivot may be hurting it, as you're going to be torquing it, I'd have thought. ? Seeing your left arm from this angle reinforces my thoughts from before - you're not tucking that arm in to your side - it's coming down and out immediately. Legspin bowling shot from above + slow motion Posted by: someblokecalleddave1 Video duration: 92 seconds Two different approaches here - the first few balls are off a 'Walk - in' and the other latter deliveries are with a bound.

They're getting me to think of my feet on 2 seperate tram lines where as I run in on one line which sets me up to get it wrong as you've described.

By: shutuprafa. on 16 Aug 11, 06:20:16 sorry for my late response...0:12 is the best example of what I was talking about. Yes, you over-rotate after releasing the ball. Upon further review, the part? that you might want to improve is where you plant your left foot ahead of your right, REGARDLESS of approach. Sometimes you plant your left foot slightly right of your right foot (close to one o'clock), sometimes closer to 11:30 or 12:00, (e.g. 0:24). Closer to one o'clock seems to yield more balance for you... Have a look at it ... By: someblokecalleddave1. on 01 Aug 11, 21:15:38 Have a look at it again and point out which delivers are better using the timeline, it'll be easier? for me and anyone else to understand if you say 'The deliivery at 1:06' rather than the 4th or 5th please? But I'm guessing you're alluding to the fact that I over-rotate? I'd take the second ... By: shutuprafa. on 01 Aug 11, 03:47:52 I'd take the second approach; it's a little cleaner and seems to yield more consistency. I notice that you're just a tad inconsistent in where you plant your left foot relative to your right foot, regardless of the approach. Your action looks a lot better when you get your left foot right of your right foot, rather than directly in front (as in the 3rd, 5th and 6th), because it will help you make the most of your hips? when bowling. Yeah that's a good ... By: someblokecalleddave1. on 31 Jul 11, 21:57:39 Yeah that's a good point Chris, I've had a sense that it seems to be a bit weak, it used to reach out in a more defined way and the lack of a tuck I'd also noticed. I think later in the day it came together? more, but I'll have to lookk at those vids later and upload them and see if I got it together. Are you getting the ... By: w0033944. on 31 Jul 11, 20:54:49 Are you getting the most out of your leading arm, Dave? It looks as though it's not tucking into your side or infront of your leg as you go through the delivery; rather, it seems? to come down and away from your body rather early. I much prefer the look of your action with the bound - more energy and flow, I think. Have a look at this ... By: someblokecalleddave1. on 31 Jul 11, 20:00:45 Have a look at this - a view of the two approaches I use when I practice, shot from above. The first lot? are off a walk-in and the 2nd batch are off a short run-in with the bound. At the end are slow motion sequences. Liked to hear comments on whethe you feel there's anything wrong.

By: someblokecalleddave1. on 16 Jul 11, 10:05:03 @thecrazygoldy123 The other thing that I didn't say is that you probably could, it's just a matter of practicing and getting a little bit of coaching and? perhaps thinking of yourself as a bowler primarily and not a batsman.

By: someblokecalleddave1. on 06 May 11, 20:28:48 Ah see, in matches I very? rarely bowl round and it's only since last October (2010) that during my practices I've started to bowl over the wicket, I'm of the opinion that when you're learning you're far better off bowling over the stumps at the off stump looking for the edge. That way if the ball doesn't turn you're still in the game, where as over wide of leg, you're likely to go for byes or be hit for runs. At the start of an over I may go round to test the batsmans weak areas. Question: You ... By: wr0ngun. on 06 May 11, 08:03:26 Question: You almost always bowl round the wicket.

The difference is massive. I've had a weird ... By: someblokecalleddave1. on 08 Jun 11, 22:40:07 I've had a weird development with this in that I'm finding that I can flick the ball and spin it massively and still maintain a good line and length if I look up at my hand and watch that I'm doing the right thing.

Thing is, Dave, ... By: w0033944. on 23 Apr 11, 09:47:23 Thing is, Dave, because I'm in a wheelchair, I can't speak from experience about foot position etc. What I can comment on with a litle knowledge is action with the bowling arm. I think you're keeping your wrist cocked? too long in most of these deliveries - at the point of release you seem to have the palm almost facing the ground. If you look at Jenner's video from the indoor nets, he demonstrates the wrist action. I hv tried to ... By: highesteem1. on 23 Apr 11, 08:27:35 I hv tried to analyse ur?

By: highesteem1. on 23 Apr 11, 07:15:32 Dave it will be good if u post more close up view of your hand/ wrist (may be in slow motion recording) to understand the mechanics of big flick... but definitely here your concern is more on what is happening at hand rather than the body position..

Yeah at the minute ... By: someblokecalleddave1. on 22 Apr 11, 21:40:04 Yeah at the minute it's as ropey as? hell partly because I'm focused on what's going on with the hand, but I reckon in the longer term it's got far more potential. I don't think I can get all the components together in the short term and it'll be a long term project, but the release is a genuine big flick and if can integrate everything it'll be a massive break through for me. Can't say I like ... By: w0033944. on 22 Apr 11, 21:33:32 Can't say I like the look? of this alteration, Dave. Your wrist and arm look stiff and tense, and I don';t see that it's getting you any more turn most of the time than your old action.

By: w0033944. on 07 Mar 11, 16:32:50 Don't worry Dave, I wasn't criticising your flipper. I? mentioned it here because you said in the comment to another video that you didn't think it was very effective, and I think that the length may be why. As we know, half the battle with wrst spin is variation of length due to backspin and overspin helping to confuse the batsman, and the flipper is useful from that point of view because it pitches closer to the batsman than the stock ball, then skids through. Yeah the Flippers ... By: someblokecalleddave1. on 07 Mar 11, 15:42:02 Yeah the Flippers need some work, the Off-spinning version which was good last year had the ability to drift loads if I bowled it with the seam angled forwards and I was very accurate with that - able to bowler yorkers. The back-spinner (these) I rarely bowl hence the length issues here. I was just pleased to be able to bow the line I was getting as they're often wides because I bowl them? so little. I'll have a go at the Offie versions next time right on the base of the stumps. Well, that looked ... By: w0033944. on 07 Mar 11, 13:58:42 Well, that looked better than the previous uploads. You didn't seem to be falling away as you did previously, though I think ylou ought to (if you haven't already) speak to Liz on the forum about? your concerns on over-rotation. As regards the flippers, I suspect your dissatisfaction comes from the length you're getting with them. It appears from this video that you're dragging them down slightly, so the extra float they provide isn't happening.
