I've often heard it said that raw pace is something that you either have or you don't, and that it's not possible to develop it through coaching. Is that true? If so, why would that be so? Is it that people who can bowl fast have some sort of physiological difference from the rest of us? There are recognised techniques that can be learned for almost all other aspects of the game, so why not bowling quicker?
I turned 50 this year and my pace is exactly the same as it was when I was 20 -- military medium. Over the years I've tried running in faster, jumping higher, bending my back, flexing my wrist more -- none of it makes much difference.
