LOTR 'advice is a dangerous thing even from the wise to the wise' so don't take it very seriously whatever i am about to say.Just have a strong straight run up, smooth too and hurl the ball forward using your shoulder.you may have to retrain your action a bit.It should also be a little flighted,it always helps. Thats alll i can say aa i had a similar problem once and i did the same thing and of course use your head for you are a better judge of yourself.

Don't forget to rip it with your wrist. Really release it hard by ripping the fingers off the seam as it leaves your hand.
Also, make sure you pivot and follow through. The follow through is important because it will give your pace a kick. Its hard to tell what what your issues are if we can't see your action but take my advice as a grain of salt.

I have no issue with giving it a good rip, I'm known in my team for turning it big. I think its that i've been sitting on my ass for a long time, not active, beer belly(im 21), and skinny limbs. I've signed up at gym, im going to work on my natural fitness overall. I don't think i have a body of a 21 year old. Getting my life back together.

Don't worry. Physique is not a measure of how well you can bowl spin. Technique is the MOST important quality you must have. If you have that going for you, you'll be a great spinner. Health is just something that improves your turn, pace and bounce in the long run.

Can you pitch your ball properly ??
As a leg spinner is with 85% of my leg breaks, which is good for a leggie.Others not so great.

Do or have you ever bowled some seam on the side? As a variation, why not bowl the seamer in their along with your leggies. It can be a quicker delivery by pushing the seam upon release. Also, you can bowl it slower and it'll just drift on without spinning. If your seam bowling is good, then you should have no problems landing it along with your legspin.
I bowl my quicker ball(only in the nets, still working on accuracy) in 2 kinds of way,1.)comes from front of the hand, usually I bowl this after a slider(front hand delivery) or front hand leg break (2nd type of leg break i have) to confuse the batsmen.
2.) Type of quicker ball is delivered from back of the hand, making it appear as if it is a googly but it goes straight.

I read an interview from Moeen Ali about what Dharmasena told him about spin bowling. If you try to touch your zip quicker with your other arm, you will get more pace on the ball.

Didn't he say reach the pocket with other hand ? or was it zippers ? And what did he mean by that ? Did he mean move your non dominated hand quicker during your bowling action ? Also, Im a leg break bowler, so my action is different from an orthodox/off break bowler.
