Bowling a few deliveries in a red-ball spell at 140 kph and over, is massive! Bowling a few deliveries at 145 kph and more is close to out of this world! But bowling almost every single delivery of the spell at around 145 kph with the fastest being over 150, is mind-blowing! And we're talking about a spell of at least 5 overs here. And, we're also talking about using the width of the crease, using the angles and getting the ball to move, both in the air and off the seam, both ways! Last but not the least, getting the lines and lengths right most of the time. These are deadly deliveries then, aren't they? Well, whatever we've mentioned was done by #MarkWood in both the #Test matches after #JamesAnderson's retirement! And it was only befitting that he finished with a 5-wicket haul. Consistent pace, hostility and accuracy - a combination every fast bowler strives to achieve in all his spells. The #Durham quick got it going for him against the #WestIndies and how! As we pointed out, if one can swing it at express pace and control the movement, he becomes unplayable at times. Watching Wood bowl, that unplayable discomfort was evident in the batters' body language. There were instances of him losing his accuracy late in a spell, there were one or two instances of him going for runs and there were moments when batters played him well. But by and large, Mark Wood was as lethal with his pace and direction, as ever before! English weather conditions do provide for genuine fast bowling. Getting tired early, perspiring profusely and extremely dry heat aren't there to trouble a speedster. Having said that, bowling as fast as one can on a regular basis to both contain runs and take wickets is no child's play! Maintaining a high level of fitness is a must for that. But again, such hostile bowling tends to find no batter playing with ease, no batter whatsoever! #ENGvsWI Check out my page - https://lnkd.in/d_9Nzr5H Check out my handle - https://lnkd.in/gtgMmTvG FanCode Durham Cricket

What’s your team’s bowling style? There are three main types of ten-pin bowling styles that bowlers commonly use to aim for that perfect strike. Let’s explore them further: Style one: The first style is the straight ball approach, where the bowler releases the ball in a straight line towards the pins. Style two: The hook ball, where the bowler adds a spin to the ball, causing it to curve as it heads towards the pins. Style three: The backup ball approach, where the bowler intentionally releases the ball with a spin in the opposite direction, creating a unique angle of attack. Each style requires precision, technique and practice to master, but all can be effective in knocking down those pins and scoring big in the game of bowling. So, which style are you and your colleagues? Are there any funny “unique” ones? Take a trip to the alley and discover your teams’ style! #TeamBuilding #EastStreetLanes  #EastStreetLanes #Bowling #BowlingCool

Simple but effective. Have your softball/baseball team wear softball/baseball pants every practice. Too often I see players in shorts, sweatpants, leggings on HS, club, and even college teams. In my experience, players will work at a higher throttle level during drills, when making plays, etc when dressed as an actual player. They'll be willing to drive, slide, and make game like plays. Practice is preparation to compete in the game. Take advantage of the opportunity by being dressed for it.

Of course, my bowling skills are strong – how are yours? 💪🎳 Bowling is a fun and challenging sport that requires skill and practice to excel in. If you're looking to improve your bowling skills, here are some tips to help you up your game ⬇️ Work on your technique: Focus on your approach, release, and follow-through. Consistency is key in bowling, so practising your technique regularly will help you improve. Find the right equipment: Make sure you have a properly fitting bowling ball and shoes. The right equipment can make a big difference in your performance. Practice regularly: The more you practice, the better you'll get. Consider joining a bowling league or finding a local alley where you can practice regularly. Learn from others: Watch experienced bowlers and learn from their techniques. Don't be afraid to ask for tips and advice from more seasoned players. Stay focused: Bowling requires concentration and focus. Eliminate distractions and visualise your shots before taking them. Work on your spare shots: Spare shots are just as important as strikes. Practice different spare shooting techniques to increase your accuracy. Stay positive: Bowling can be a mental game, so it's important to stay positive and focused on improving. Celebrate your successes and learn from your mistakes. By incorporating these tips into your bowling routine with us at East Street Lanes you'll be on your way to improving your skills and taking your game to the next level 🏆 Chris Goodman | Bhavin Gandhi | Dharmist Bathia | Rachel Sherwood | Ash Payne | Deyal Gill | Jay Nandha | Dipul Mehta | James Ross | Kamlesh Lodhia | Linda Neville | Anil Motivaras | Jastin Patel | John Cooper, KL KStJA 💎 Website Designer | Greg Hollingsworth | Sally Smith | Zinthiya Ganeshpanchan FRSA #EastStreetLanes #Bowling #BowlingCool

USA Pickleball announced that April is National Pickleball Month! #PickleballMonth This month, I am reviewing the different pickleball skill ratings. Intermediate players are above 3.0 but less than 4.0. They can play a variety of shots and strategies including resets and dinks. A RESET is a soft shot that drops into your opponent's Non-Volley-Zone. It is the same as a "third-shot-drop" but can occur anytime during the rally. After a reset, a DINK is another soft shot that drops into your opponent's NVZ. The Non-Volley Zone is the proper technical term for the restricted area up to and including the line 7 feet from the net. Many people refer to this area as the kitchen, saying "Stay out of the kitchen!" However, there is no such rule. You can be in the kitchen whenever you want; you just can't hit the ball in the air (hence, Non-Volley Zone) without letting it bounce. From a strategy perspective, keeping behind the NVZ line is good advice. Using USA Pickleball standards as guidance, pickleball ratings are scaled from 1.0 to 5.5 , where 1.0 is a beginner and 5.5 or higher is a player with professional playing abilities. 3.5 Skill Rating FOREHAND: Improved stroke development with moderate level of shot control. BACKHAND: Learning stroke form and starting to develop consistency but will avoid if possible. SERVE / RETURN: Consistently gets serve/return in play with limited ability to control depth. DINK: Increased consistency, with limited ability to control height/depth. Sustains medium length rallies. Starting to understand variations of pace. 3RD SHOT: Developing the drop shot in a way to get to the net. VOLLEY: Is able to volley medium paced shots thereby developing control. STRATEGY: Moves quickly towards the non-volley zone (NVZ) when opportunity is there. Acknowledges difference between hard game and soft game and is starting to vary own game during recreation and tournament play. Can sustain short rallies. Is learning proper court positioning. Basic knowledge of stacking and understands situations where it can be effective. For a little more about Pickleball see https://lnkd.in/eeWBtdqg
