Has anyone been clocked bowling wise and if so what speed?
« on: January 23, 2014, 08:49:12 PM »

The fastest you've faced thread is interesting, so wondered the opposite? Who's quick on here.

Hard to price and may just become a willy waving contest. But I'm sure some will be truthful.


About 6years ago, at my height of fitness I was clocked at 76mph at a univercity net that was advertised for this.

I'm probably more 72now though. As I'm chubby and slowwwww

Clocked at 71, doesn't help with bounce in Scotland and that was last year - so a bit quicker hopefully

A mate turned up to nets with a hand held gun, no idea how accurate but clocked my arm ball at 55mph, my slow ball was too slow to register, probably sub 25mph.

I was clocked at age 17 at 126km/hr, or 78mph. 10 years on and never been clocked again but shoulder reconstruction at age 18 assured me of not getting any quicker :)

I was too quick for the gun, they re calibrated the system but it didn't solve the issue!

68 mph two years ago in the natwest thing at the oval. I'm now nearer 40 and think that is unlikely again.

In my twenties before wrecking my shoulder got clocked at 77. Pity my radar didn't quite work as well as it should.

I am about 75-80 average, closer to 75 as I believe in preserving myself ;). Effort ball, perfect rhythm and knee feeling good I can go up to 82-85...been a while since that happened though...
