Another question is, when i bowl my left thigh feel pain after about 4 games. Do u happen to know the causes.Thanx
Dear bowler,

Weight of the ball will not cause your thigh to hurt when you are bowling. Like what one of the them said, maybe its due to you not doing warm ups.

I cannot cfm this but most prob is due to your finishing position. is your knees bent 45 degrees or 90 degrees? if you are at 90 degrees, you are putting the weight on your thigh and you are at 80kg. Lets say you divide your upper and lower body weight in 1/2.

Top = 40kg Bottom = 40kg

If you are finishing and most of your weight is balance thru your thighs, youve got 40 kilos holding with your thigh. So to summerise this, you may have a bad finishing posture.


Bowl up a Storm
