How to ball with pace?

Question

ok my pace is good but i want it better if anyone knows hot to bowl fast please help that also with a tennis ball

Answer 1

keep ball freely in ur hand. it will increase the ball speed and leave the ball when the hand comes parallel to ur right or left eye(depends upon arm bowling). i also one of base bowler in my team. all the best for height speed in future.

Answer 2

There are two methods:

1. Gain more muscles. If you are strong then your arm will be stronger and you will be bowl quicker. (ie brett lee is extremely fit which is one reason he can bowl fast for long periods)

2. Technique. If you don't rely on strength for bowling them you must rely on technique. Bowling has alot to do with momentum. The more momentum the ball has the quicker it will travel

To better increase momnetum you need to have:

- a good run up. You should reach max speed in run up just before you bowl

- When coming into the the delivery stride lean back

- When in the delivery stride make sure your front leg extends forward. This combined with leaning back a little will help to put your bodies weight behind the ball thus increasing its speed

- The follow through (VERY IMPORTANT) if you are a pace bowler you need a good follow through and it should be a least several strides (ie. after brett lee bowls he doesn't stop as quickly as possible, he finishes close to the centre of the pitch. A good follow through will increase momentum and thus ball speed.

And remember, not everyone can bowl at a 100mph. It's kind of like a natural gift, that's why only a few bowlers can reach this pace.

Another thing. One way to improve your bowling style is to look at other bowlers. For example i too am not extremely quick so I have molded my bowling around glenn mcgrath and nathan bracken. Instead of sheer pace they use line and length combined with smart bowling (ie. slower balls and cutters) and they get just as many wickets as say lee or ishant sharma

Answer 3

make some changes on  your run up and bowling action or try different bowling action. it worked for my friends
