These important technique requirements should be evident in every bowler.

· Smooth flowing movements

· Natural balanced stance

· Relaxed comfortable grip           

· Effective aiming line method

· Correct body alignment and arm swing

· Adjustment in delivery momentum i.e. weight control

· Smooth grassing of the bowl

Do not assume your technique is deficient due to poor results. Technique changes should be made only if there are obvious technique errors, results are poor  and you believe in  the need for change.  

Poor performance may be due to one or more of the following factors and not a technique problem.

Inadequate practice

Fatigue, heat exhaustion

Inability to cope with pressure. Anxiety causes muscle tension and poor application of technique. The result = bad delivery

Technique is sound but mental skills, such as concentration, poor or  confidence down.
