When you have to go fetching the ball continuously, that plan quickly goes out the window!
lol :P
Well if you can't spin it, you should try harder or bowl something else.

Try to dig up some youtube videos of Vettoris arm ball and pay close attention to his fingers. His grip stays the same the entire time and the ball just leaves his hand without him putting any rip on him.
Dare say his arm ball is the best in the business right now
I do the seam up grip.
I have three deliveries. The stock offbreak, where I just roll my fingers over the ball. The big ripping offbreak, my favourite deliver. Big turn, well flighted, drifts in the air. I feel that should be my stock ball, but it works a lot better as a variation and catches batsmen off-guard. And then the seam-up grip.
Next time I play I'll try using my big-ripping one as the stock ball and just slide the ball out for the arm ball and see how that goes...
