Oof the knee bend is so relatable. It bends at the last second causing me to lose quite some pace. One thing I found helpful was shortening my stride but that doesn't generate enough momentum. I'm no expert at techniques but compared to a lot of people you're doing pretty good. Keep up and keep improving.
Also, holy shit, that camera quality is better than a lot of Bollywood movies.

I'm also semi reluctant to keep my knee straight because I don't want to damage the cartilage. I also broke my landing leg femur in half when I was younger which adds to the reluctance

For some reason I feel like my leg will just snap in half if I land with locked knees

Lmao Always had the feeling myself. I was trying to have a straight knee, practicing during quarantine and was scared af that I'm gonna hurt myself.

Ouch that sounds bad. Well yeah, I guess you could work with the knee bend. You look like you're a tall lad you might have more advantage over other bowlers anyways. And it's always difficult to have a straight knee when you're tall (:/) so might very well be good with what you already have.

Took this about a month ago, when I was doing some bowling for the first time in like a year. Definitely had a bit of consistency issues because of the break
Some notes
Bowling arm hyper extension and wrist position
I have a pretty decent wrist snap and some hyper extension that you can notice in this pic. Helps with angling the ball and some pace. Harder to notice the wrist because it gets a bit cut off in the video, but you can see the bottom of the hand
Side onish landing post jump
Foot lands at about a 45* angle so I'm more side on with my bowling. Bowling arm is delayed compared to the other arm
Landing my left foot
At this point there's some problems noticeable. My left arm isn't as tucked in as it should be so I'm losing pace there. I'm fairly inconsistent with this lately. Sometimes I'll have it tucked in, sometimes I don't.
Knees also bending, which releases some of the pace I could be getting.
Back foot is raised. With a more efficient technique, you'll notice the back foot kinda grounded/dragging and pivoting at around this point
Also got some lateral flexion issues that I've been working on, which isn't optimal if you want to avoid injuries lol
