When bowlers who use a bowling arm select their aiming point, should they take account of the ‘geometry’ of delivering outside of the hip line?
If the bowler is able to advance either foot before or during delivery, aiming technique could be similar to that of an able-bodied bowler. However players obliged to deliver with feet together, or outside whichever is the front foot, thereby place their bowl delivery line wide of their sighting line. Bowling arm users who deliver outside both feet, and are comfortable with an aiming point at, say, 50% of the head distance, could shift their aiming point sideways in the corresponding direction by 50% of the release point’s offset from the body centreline. If the offset is, say, 14 cm then the half-way shift in aiming point would need to be about 7 cm sideways of ‘normal’. The altered aiming point for forehands becomes ‘wider’, and for backhands becomes ‘narrower’. The adjusted delivery line of bowling-arm users would converge on the corresponding delivery line of able-bodied bowlers so that they would intersect at the destination.
