By Ian Pont, PitchVision Academy Fast Bowling Coach

The way your body moves through the bowling action affects how fast and straight you bowl. When you know how to do this you improve: Fast.

Learning to bowl faster is not just about a coach standing in the net shouting at you what to do. In this course I use clever combination of the learning methods of kinaesthetic (the feel of improvements), visual (what improvements look like) and auditory (telling you about improvements) to accelerate your understanding.

I believe for you to learn how to bowl really fast you need to understand what movements and feelings work best yourself. You can't do that by reading the MCC coaching book or listening to a coach who tells you to slow down.

This course features, for the first time, the coaching drills and techniques I have used with great success to give fast bowlers an understanding of their action:

  • Learn how to improve your pace and accuracy at the same time.
  • Break your action into the key elements required for speed.
  • Discover the essential drills I use every day to make bowlers faster.
  • Listen to my in depth explanation of pace bowling with real life examples.
  • Lifetime access to all the video, audio and written resources on the course.

One of the most impressive benefits of joining this course is lifetime access to an exclusive 24/7 support forum. Here you can interact with other fast bowlers all over the world also trying to improve their pace and accuracy. Your questions will also be answered. I'm all about helping you work it out for yourself.

Given the right coaching, anyone can bowl faster. If you are serious about making the most of your potential, I'm ready to teach you how.

Use these videos to understand the essential coaching points of a fast bowler's action

Hang time
Most really fast bowlers have 'hang time': The jump at the end of your run up towards the batsman. It's an important trigger for what follows and allows you to set yourself for exploding through your action. (1m 36s).
Setting up
Lining up your arms and shoulders at the start of your action is important for accuracy. In this video we examine the common faults and demonstrate a more efficient set up. (2m 25s).

Arm pull
Real bowling speed is about stretching and contracting your muscles in the right order. This video shows you what that looks like and gives you a drill used by top level coaches to get the feel for this stretch (1m 17s)

Hip drive
The hips are the powerhouse of the bowling action. If you want to bowl fast you must have a effective hip drive in your action. This video includes a drill to work on to improve your hip drive. (2m 17s).

Chest drive
Chest drive marks out a pace bowler. Like a ski jumper or sprinter dipping to the line, it helps set up the unleashing of extra pace. (1m 23s).

Knee drive
Driving your trailing knee forward keeps your momentum towards the target out of the crease. Learn more about it here and use the 3 knee drill from later in the course to develop it. (2m 18s).

Shoulder rotation
A full rotation of the shoulders finishes the action, driving your weight and the ball to the batsman at maximum pace. This video shows you the shoulder rotation in action and how you can drill to improve yours. (1m 24s)

Follow through
Your follow through is the result of what happens in your action. Discover how the best fast bowlers follow through.

Run up
Although your run up is the first thing you do, it's last here because we feel the action is more important to examine in detail. In this video we show you the basics of a run up for fast bowlers. (1m 00s).
