How can a bowler look like he’s jogging in, yet consistently bowl above 140 km/h?

That’s exactly what makes Gurnoor Brar so interesting. 👀

Most young fast bowlers think more effort equals more pace.

Run faster.
Try harder.
Force the action.

Then you watch Gurnoor. 🔥

✅ The run-up looks relaxed
✅ The effort looks low
✅ Nothing appears rushed

Yet the speed gun keeps showing 140+ km/h. ⚡

So where is the pace coming from?

When we break down the biomechanics, we can see back foot ankle and knee collapse during the loading phase. For many bowlers, this would reduce force transmission and limit momentum transfer.

But here’s where it gets interesting. 👇

🔄 Despite the collapse, Gurnoor achieves excellent hip internal rotation.

This allows the pelvis to rotate efficiently, helping create effective hip to shoulder separation and maintain momentum through the kinetic chain.

🚀 His back foot also exits the ground rapidly, reducing energy leakage and allowing momentum to continue moving toward the target.

🦵 Then comes the front leg.

Rather than staying completely rigid, his front leg follows a flex and extend strategy.

✔️ Initial knee flexion helps absorb force
✔️ Subsequent extension helps redirect forces through the trunk and bowling arm

The result? 🎯

A bowler generating elite pace not because every position is perfect, but because the most important links in the kinetic chain are working exceptionally well.

Fast bowling biomechanics is fascinating because sometimes the secret isn’t what a bowler is doing wrong.

It’s what they’re doing so well that nobody notices. 🧠⚡

Most fast bowlers look at the front leg when it collapses.

Very few ask why it collapsed in the first place. 🤔

In many cases, the answer is sitting 60 cm above it.

The head. 🎯

At front foot contact, your head carries a significant amount of body mass. When the head travels too far forward and gets ahead of the pelvis, often ending up over the front thigh rather than staying aligned with the body’s center of mass, it creates a major challenge for the front leg.

Now the front leg is no longer just dealing with momentum.

It’s dealing with the additional load created by the head falling forward.

The result? 👇

❌ Front leg collapse
❌ Reduced stiffness
❌ Poor force transfer
❌ Loss of energy into the crease
❌ Reduced bowling efficiency

Think of it like carrying a heavy backpack. The moment the weight shifts too far in front of your base of support, something has to give.

In fast bowling, that’s often the front leg. 🏏

In Episode 24 of Feedback Friday, we break down how head position influences key attractors throughout the bowling action and why understanding this relationship can completely change the way you look at your own technique. 📚

Sometimes the issue isn’t the front leg.

Sometimes the front leg is simply reacting to what the head is doing. 💡
