Bowling Execution - 2nd Edition Review

Bowling Execution - 2nd Edition
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
John Jowdy is well-known as a master bowling guru to many professional bowlers. When a PBA or PWBA member has needed assistance in elevating his or her game, John Jowdy has done so with proven results. John Jowdy is the familiar gentleman sitting with a foot long cigar in the first row of many televised matches watching, many time, his students. Therefore, Mr. Jowdy come to this book with much credibility. Many, but not all, bowling books are either too elemental for the intermediate or better bowler, or are filled with outdated information. Mr. Jowdy has bridged the gap between beginners and the better, experienced bowler with this book.
For example, I guess I would be considered a better than average league bowler with a 215 average. The night before my last league night, I read the chapters regarding the free armswing and the outward, rather than upward, follow-through, and put it into practice. The following night, I bowled a 299 game with a total of 16 strikes in a row over 2 games.
I would recommend this book if you are serious about improving your game.

Skills, Drills & Strategies for Bowling (The Teach, Coach, Play Series) Review

Skills, Drills and Strategies for Bowling (The Teach, Coach, Play Series)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This book is very very basic. I'm surprised at Jose the bowlers' review. He could only have been talking about conventional vs fingertip drilling as this book does not address the layout and drilling of a bowling ball at all. It is scorekeeping and the pin numbers and basic information about lanes and four steps. For a very raw beginner or teaching a class of beginners, it would work.

Par Bowling: The Challenge Review

Par Bowling: The Challenge
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The most complete bowling book I've ever seen. Covers every aspect of the physical game and just about anything else connected with bowling from philosophy to physics.
The book has a fair amount of useful diagrams, but it could use even more to explain some of the rather complicated ideas that Kouros deals with.
This is not light reading, but it is definitely worthwhile for the advanced bowler. Kouros writes well interspersing the technical information with jokes and anecdotes.
Kouros leaves it up to the reader to decide which of the many techniques he presents are worth incorporating. This is a responsibility that is best left to someone who knows their own game extremely well.
Unfortunately, If you're a beginner or intermediate bowler this book will probably confuse you more than it will help.
If you just want to bowl well without worrying about the why's and wherefore's, Fred Borden's books are probably more appropriate.
However if you are in the 180's or so (Average not IQ, but the extra IQ points certainly wouldn't hurt) this book should definitely be part of your library.

Bowling 300: Top Pros Share Their Secrets to Rolling the Perfect Game Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Book is interesting and has few typos. A lot of nice anecdotes, personal information about the players, practice techniques etc.
However, complicated releases employed by pro's are described in words without pictures. Frankly it is difficult to picture exactly what these guys are doing with their releases etc. Definitely needs more pictures, diagrams, etc.

Bowling Fundamentals (Sports Fundamentals) Review

Bowling Fundamentals (Sports Fundamentals)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I ordered three books on bowling and this one by Michelle Mullen is the best of the three. After reading this book I went out and shot games of 199 and 200+, it's the truth. If you want to improve your game or are looking for some good advice then definitely buy this book. I don't recommend buying "From Gutter balls to Strikes" because the author doesn't know how to write a book. He claims to provide you with 101 of the most common mistakes but for the most part it's not good advice. Stick with "Bowling Fundamentals" and you will be fine.

Learning to bowl has never been easier—or more fun—than with Bowling Fundamentals. Students will enjoy using this resource because they will learn by doing, spending less time reading and more time on the lanes. With simple instructions and accompanying photographs, this book makes it easy to teach students to bowl.

Bowling Fundamentals begins by teaching students about the proper grip and stance. These chapters are followed by instructions on footwork, arm swing, timing, and release. Chapters also are devoted to hitting the pocket and mastering left and right side spares. Finally, readers will get specific information on league bowling.

Each chapter addresses a specific skill, leading the student through a simple, four-step sequence:

-You Can Do It: The skill is introduced with sequential instructions and accompanying photographs.

-More to Choose and Use: Variations and extensions of the primary skill are covered.

-Take It to the Lane: Readers learn how to apply the skill in competition.

-Give It a Go: Several direct experiences—such as drills, small-sided games, and self-tests—are provided to gauge, develop, and hone the skill.Writer Michelle Mullen won four national titles including one major as well as nine regional titles in the Professional Women\'s Bowling Association and has coached bowlers of all skill levels for more than 16 years. Her personal and professional experiences allow her to understand clearly what bowlers need and how to help them achieve success.

Part of the Sports Fundamentals Series, Bowling Fundamentals teaches the basic skills and tactics to help readers get rolling in the game and enjoying every frame.
