Learn how to extend the back leg when bowling. This course goes over how to use the lower body to increase spin, by learning to drive with the back leg, it takes the strain off the upper body. This in turn improve the bowler's ability to be accurate. Extension of the front leg with complement the back leg drive and also improve forward trunk tilt, which is an indication of ground reaction forces converted to the ball.

You will learn how to effectively utilise your lower extremities or legs to produce force. By generating energy via ground reaction forces, you will take the stress off your upper body and hence the smaller muscles can focus on the precision aspect of the action. I teach you how to drive and extend your back leg and how this is initiated by gaining a linear force vector prior to the drive phase. When you begin driving your back leg it should move in a linear direction towards the target, full extension of the back leg must occur prior to front foot landing. Once your front foot lands it must then stabilise and extend fully back into your hips before release, this will increase forward trunk tilt. The forward trunk tilt is an indication of how efficiently you have maximised your ground reaction force transfer to the ball, from your bowling action.
