Timing

The principal factor for a perfect rhythm in your bowling action is perfect timing. Only
repeated practice makes you proficient in maintaining the rhythm. Control, rhythm and a
good release blend together for an excellent delivery.
As the fundamental action of bowling is the arm swing, it is vitally important that you
perform it with good timing.

The Ideal Push Away and Timing

To achieve an ideal push-away in which your arm muscles are comfortable, it is vital to
pay attention to the synchronized movements of your feet and body, which accompany
arm/hand movements.
Getting the time right for every move automatically sets your action at a comfortable
rhythm, and you will be able to bowl fluently and accurately.

If you had a string attached from the bottom of your right hand to the top of
your right foot, they would go together in the same direction. Move your limbs
in a similar manner- where the bowling hand moves, the same foot moves in
relation to it.
When you put forward the right foot, the right arm too goes forward, fully
extended, and the push away is complete.
With synchronized movements, you will be able to walk to the target with the
free arm swing
Gravity is in charge of the rest of the synchronization. It will ensure that the
ball and your feet will be at the line at the same time.

Being one of the vital maneuvers of bowling, the push-away is also executed in various
styles.
The most recommended way is the self propelled one, which depends on gravity. To
execute this you will have to push the ball up slightly to create the acceleration.
The moves should neither be exaggerated, nor achieved forcefully: trying to do so will
create mayhem with both your timing and accuracy. Also remember that the grip on the
ball should be firm and light.
