off-spin

[themuel1]

Hi,
I dunno if this belongs in this forum, if not, im sorry.
But id like some tips if possible on off-spinning and how to bowl an arm ball? At the minuite, i bowl with three fingers on the top of the seam instead of the convensional thumb and two fingers. I also bowl flicking my wrist anti-clockwise like an leg spinner. Despite this i get a lot of turn and i am genrally accurate. 1. Am i allowed to use this action? 2. How straight can my arm become to bowl lawfully? ( flex )

Help would be gratefully recieved.
Cheers

Hi i bowl legspin and when i hold the ball like a conventional legspin and bowl the ball out the back of the hand the ball spins like that of a off spiner, is this what you do, i would go to:

from this it has all the ways to bowl spin and you might find out some info.

Thanks TJH,
Ive found i bowl the ball with my wrist facing outwards instead of the conventional inwards.
