It is worth remembering that strength doesn't always equal POWER and it is power we want to help work alongside pace.

 

Muscles can make you STRONG but slower. If you think of a car with a small engine, but with a turbo and efficiently tuned, it can be much faster than a bigger engine. It is more important therefore to be effective in PLYOMETRICS (running, bounding, jumping) and being able to use the hips quickly. The key for speed is getting into the correct positions to bowl fast so the kinetic chain doesn't break within the action.

 

UPF is launching a brand new site in a month all about fast bowling. And from January, we cover the CORRECT training to ensure the bowling action is supported to create speed.

 

Size isn't important - SPEED is. 

Top Post and I agree. Let me know if you are ever in DC area or in U.S anywhere next year or so. 

 

Btw, I would like to know about squats and hamstring. Do you ever recommend bowlers squats over other excercises regularly.
