The thumb pointing downward (when the ball is behind the bowler head) verifies that the backswing - initiated by the push away was effortlessly pendulum with no hand twist.
@@GarrettWongBowling The opposing arm at the push away should extend straight with the thumb pointing down. This is a biomechanical feature that helps to keep the right shoulder subdued and allow the inertia fed backswing to be a natural pendulum motion.
Thank you
No worries!
Why should we have our thumb facing down on the down swing?
Helps to increase the awareness of your shoulder rotation!
@@GarrettWongBowling ahh never knew that. So it only faces the ground on the way down? Or the entire swing?

@juwanbrown7784 Just to check I'm referring to the leading hand that's in front. Are you talking about that one?
