No :') but I do have several family members who have in the past surpassed the 90 mph barrier so :) another observation the technique with the stopwatch and deviding by 40 gives you a higher speed by about 5 mph because at this competition a friend used the stopwatch technique and the radar gun registered 74 but the stopwatch technique showed 79 :/ and this happened consistently so take 5 mph of whatever you get with the stopwatch technique a number of people did it and always ended up with a speed 5 mph higher than the radar gun

I think it's incredibly rare to get someone in their teens bowling exceptionally quick for their age. You generally have to be built a bit like an adult (i.e taller than average and stockier as well). .

hi,
im 13 and a pace bowler and i was wondering what is the average speed of a pace bowler aged 13????
and does anyone have any suggestions for a speed recorder?
my friend is 12 and he thinks he bowls around 100km and hes faster than me so i think i bowl around the 85 mark...

I think Mitchell Johnson was up around the 140kph mark at 17...so that should give you a benchmark if your goal is to be rapid. He may have been more physically developed than other blokes his age too. You generally gain a lot more pace between 18+22/23.

in the teens pace tends to be a matter of who hits puberty first. Focus on developing solid action mechanics and the speed will follow as your body develops.
