Two attractors were evident from the very beginning of the impact zone. Attractors in the bowling sequence have a domino effect. Setting the kino sequence up correctly from the start by hitting the attractors has a huge positive effect on ball velocity
1. Upper body first
Creating tension around the trunk and pelvis through correct stretching of the oblique slings. Creates control of collision on the back foot contact
Fast bowling is about utilising the SPIRAL FORCES that happen in the body and is free energy. Getting the timing and sequencing right will allow effortless and efficient speed
The spiral tension creates stability around the pelvis which in turns aids the front foot contact, swing leg extension and retraction
2. Extending the trunk while rotating
In fast bowling the upper body should move independently from the lower body (notice his pelvis is open/facing forward- the back door and front door closed as such, whilst his torso has a slight turn)
This is how tension is created
Extending the trunk encourages stability in the lumbar spine. It also guides the scapula into the correct position.
“When the bowler extends their thoracic spine, they put the four rotator cuff muscles at or near their optimal length, promoting stability in the next attractor (rotation around the shoulder)

Plus that wrist snap to squeeze out the extra few miles per hour.
