Bent Bowling Arm

[maroon4ever]

My 14 yr old son has developed a bent bowling arm and I am not sure how to fix it or if it needs to be fixed? He has been really trying to bowl with a straighter arm but it’s not really working. So any tips on that would be appreciated

What does he bowl? Pace or Spin? What type of spin?

Sorry should have said. He’s a pace bowler

It's something I myself have struggled with, probably way longer than I should had. Though I never became much of a bowler, ultimately what helped me was consciously trying for my bowling arm to touch my ear while delivering. Don't know will it help anyone else though

Is he trying to bowl any specific variation like off cutter or something? Or just the conventional stock delivery? You can advise him to make his arm speed much faster, so that it would be much harder to bend his arm. And let him not bowl for too long. Sometimes bowling out of frustration may help develop chucking.
