Bowling action

I've been asked by my friend, courtesy of his younger sister, who's bowling in the video, to show some footage of her bowling, and get some feedback. So here are three short videos of her bowling.

Personally don't think the left leg looks right, and the follow through too. Just interested in what you think.

Thanks.

Would be good if we could get a front on view, but from side on there doesn't seem to be any sort of follow through. The hips and chest don't seem to drive through at all, meaning she basically just stops after delivering the ball, so that'd be the main thing I'd reccommend trying to change. Not sure what the gripe with the left leg is though, seems to be pretty straight, doesn't appear to buckle at all. Just the follow through for me.

Maybe you could get her to do her action a real pace, eg with her proper run up. It's sort of hard to help when she just strolls in there. Looks pretty decent though, like KP said just a get more momentum through her follow through,

2 classic mistakes. First falling over to the right handers off side and second the hip not driving through.

It's tricky to caoch over the interweb but work at driving both the head and right hip more forwards towards the target.
