If you aspire to become a great spin bowler, it’s important that you add the off spinner into your range of variations. The post about bowling the top spinner taught us a lot. In this blog, you will learn about everything required to master the off spin. Let’s dive right in.

Now that we’ve learnt and practised to bowl the top spinner as a leg break bowler, it’s time to practise something more challenging. Today’s blog post is all about how you can challenge yourself as a spinner and bowl the perfect off spinner.

As for the grip, place your middle finger and your index finger on top of the ball and on the seam. The idea is to spread them out wide on the seam to get the most out of the pitch. Your thumb stays under the ball for a firm grip. The best technique to release the ball is to roll your index finger over your middle finger with a perfect follow through. This gives the ball the necessary flight and most importantly, makes the ball turn into a right-handed batter.

When you bowl the off break or the off spin, try to pivot by keeping your left foot planted on the ground. This keeps your balance intact along with a solid technique. However, when it comes to bowling the leg spin, the left foot is stretched and placed near the bowling crease for the best result.
