Default What Should I do?

Hi guys, just wondering, as my steps are not stable and firm, wad should i do to improve them?
Im using a 5-step approach, am a spinner. wad i heard is dat, u should walk fast for spinners right? like one swift movement.. but somehow during my 3rd n 4th step i start to feel myself swaying abit.. Is it the way i walk? i dont walk like normal walking when i approach the foul like, kind of like glide actually, is dat the main problem?

Please advice..
cheers!!

Maybe you can refer to my thread 'Faster or slower feet?'. There are some useful tips given by some of the members here.

Bowl great!

high backswing may give your ball more speed. not necessarily spinners dun need high backswing. david wong is one example of a spinner with high backswing (for a spinner).

in my opinion, the footwork should follow the natural momentum of your swing. in other words, you shouldn't be adjusting your swing according to your footwork. it should be the other way round. that way, your timing will be more accurate.

thats the reason why u are stagnant...u cant get the right thing from so many cooks
though they may give u tips here and there,and u might pick up tru your observation but are u sure u can do it correctly?
in bowling there is no such thing as photocopy,cos u will need to know what happens at that split second wich not many pple are able to catch cos only the bowler himself/herself is able to feel it or maybe its natural for them to do so...
be it spinning or hook or even str8 ball,solid fundamentals is a must and sad to say,that dept is what u lack in...
go and work on it before u go more advance,only with a solid foundation than u will be able to progress far,unlike some bowlers i see who does not wanna get foundations right end up with injuries and such
