Help with coaching legspin.

Hey guys,

Just hoping someone(s) can give me a but of guidance on teaching legspin.

I bowled it for a while & know the basics well, a good friend of mine has been bowling leggies for 3 seasons now but he was struggling to get any turn but his wrongun was/is fantastic, through taking video of his action & slowing it down I've identified that the ball is coming out the back of the hand & when he gets it to turn to leg it's because at the point of delivery his back of his hand is pointing towards first slip while he pulls down on the ball, so basically it's more angle than anything,

I've shown him how to bowl correctly & put him onto a few videos & such that show & explain it, but no matter what I & he try the ball is still coming out back or over top of the palm of the hand.

So I'm just hoping someone might have some ideas on how to correct his technique, any help in general would be fantastic.
