Where Should Your Focus Be Through The Legspin Delivery

I thought I would ask a question. I would like to know where the majority of leg spin bowlers focus during the delivery. In the past I looked at the batsman and bowled too many full balls.
I now focus on the batters feet or at a drivable length and this has improved my consistency.

Would like to know where others focus and why? Is there a correct focus area to aim at?

It's an individual preference thing, you can't really say what's right and what's wrong, Paul Adams looked at his own feet! I look more or less at the batsman's helmet and try to bowl the ball directly towards it or slightly above it with as much energy and revs as possible.

STEP ONE
The top joints of the index and middle fingers are across the seam, with the ball resting between:

a bent third finger and the thumb.

STEP TWO
As you release the ball, straighten the fingers and much of the work on the ball will be done:

by the third finger, turning the ball anti-clockwise.

Flick the wrist so that the palm of the hand finishes facing downwards.

Leg spin involves turning a ball off the pitch from the leg-side of a right-handed batsman,  Wink

to the off-side.

It is often described as wrist spin because, unlike off spinners:

the revolutions of the ball are generated by the wrist rather than the fingers.

Well I am not a batting expert but as a former school boy cricketer I say you should always focus on the ball no matter what kind of bowler is bowling. You should not focus on a particular spot on the pitch because you can't predict the motion of the ball with 100% certainty.
