Grip
The orthodox grip for the off spinner is a two finger grip, with the first
joints of the index and middle fingers spread widely on the seam. Ideally the
thumb should not apply any pressure onto the ball. Spin is imparted primarily
through the index finger.
Rotations are imparted by a turn of the wrist. This can be practised by
'partner' throwing across a distance of 5-10 metres
N.B. The points listed above refer to an orthodox action, but many other types
of action have been successfully tried.
