A few things you can do.
 
1. Lower the flight.  That's the main reason for bowling full tosses.  If you figure that's the flight you want to bowl with then you go to #2.
 
2.  Slow down your speed.  The more flight you use, the less the speed has to be, to allow the ball time to drop on the perfect length.
 
3.  If those don't work, it could probably mean you're using a lot of overspin, which is hardly to bowl with a flatter flight.  Try bowling with sidespin, that would be much more easier to get on target.
 
Hope that helps.

i used to be a decent spinner (both leg breaks, as well as off-spin), and started recently after a long gap. the good news is that i am more consistent than ever before...the bad news is that "consistency" means all i can do is bowl full tosses! leg breaks are fine, but all my off-spin balls end up being juicy full tosses, no matter how hard i try. its really bizarre, because when i bowl seam up i have no problem with length, but these offbreaks are terrible! i still get them to rip, but the length is too full..consistently!! any "common mistakes" that i may be making? ]]> Mon, 21 Feb 2011 23:46:28 +0000 http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=579&PID=213020#213020 Would any one want help with spin? : Haha, that was a corker of a reply... http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=579&PID=208785#208785 Author: spin wizard

Any one needing help with finger spin I can help.

I bowled quick off breaks, and had two varieties of arm balls.  Bowled a mixture of quick off breaks, darts and yorkers in my playing days.

In all honesty buddy, I've spun a tennis ball as big as a hard ball.  One time when I was in college, we were playing on concrete and I was spinning them square.  You can put more effort into the tennis ball, seeing it is lighter and won't go up to much to the batters.  It takes more practice to control harder effort into hard balls.]]> Fri, 15 Jan 2010 14:28:55 +0000 http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=579&PID=205128#205128 Would any one want help with spin? : Is it actually possible to bowl... http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=579&PID=205126#205126 Author: crownmethod

Your back foot has to be parallel to the crease, and your front foot should be pointing straight ahead or just slightly to the left (ie between 12-1 o'clock). Your non-bowling arm should be nice and high so you can make full use of your height, plus the downward drive you get with this later on'll help you get more pace through the air. You should be looking through this arm when you bowl. Your bowling arm should be cocked with the normal grip and should be beside your non-bowling hand. Make sure your hips and shoulders are in line with each other to acoid injury, and you should be leaning slightly forward - don't lean backwards because that'll ruin your back.
 
As you bowl, drive down with your non bowling arm towards the target and simultaneously bring your bowling arm through and bowl the ball. As you release the ball, pivot on your left foot, which will help you get more spin on the ball. You should drive through with your right leg. Your pivot should mean that  the batsman will now see your other shoulder (ie he saw your left shoulder before you bowled, now he'll see your right shoulder). 
 
Hope that helps.

No.
That may be for normal spinners,but I have worked on going round the wicket.
I normaly don't do it exept to lefties.
When it comes to right handers,I find that going round the wicket and bowling with about 3 veriations an over can mess them up.
Mind you,I only do this if they are already hitting me around.
Otherwise,It is inviting a expensive spell.

The reason for going round the wicket that ball was that I'd only just been hit for four and then six.

Going round the wicket's a pretty negative tactic, especially in one day games and at club level, you'll just get heaved through the leg side. Takes away LBW largely and reduces the effectiveness of a lot of deliveries. I know it's quite tempting because you'll get more spin, but spin is only really the final action of the ball from hand to pitch - flight, drift etc. Stay over the wicket unless you'r really stuck.
 
As for grips, there isn't a right grip. Just whatever you feel comfortable with and whichever grip helps you to bowl to your optimum potential should be your grip.

Ussually I do,mainly on my Googly though.
My stock ball never has the same amount of spin on it and I can't chose how much spin to put on it.
One advantage to this is that my googly is nigh on exactly the same action as the legbreak!

On another note,I also find it comes out better when I try to put lots of revs on it!

It's not all about the grip, could be your wrist position.  If your wrist is cock to tight, it will make the ball feel bad in your hand.  Just say I know this from personal experience. Wink I also find that by trying to rev up the ball real hard, I get it out better.

Bowling out the back of the hands will make the ball either top spin or go the other way, which is the googly.  A leggies stock ball comes out either with the back of the hands to cover with the palm to mid wicket.  Or, with the back of the hand to you and the palm to the batter which should be the side spinner.


I get it to leg spin and I bowl it out of the back of my hand!
Maybe I am different,because I sure can get it out of the back of my hand.
