Book Description

September 1, 1992
"The key to improvement is to eliminate those idiosyncrasies in your style that make it difficult for you to repeat the same series of motions shot after shot, game after game." In this breakthrough book, David Ozio, 1991 PBA Player of the Year, shows how to consistently achieve higher averages with his success-proven techniques for bowling like a pro. His step-by-step instructions and action photographs detail the fundamentals of good shot making and the systematic methods for fine-tuning your game. Just some of the tricks of the trade he shares include:
  • Mastering the explosive hook ball
  • Making spares off the strike lane
  • Using sidewalls to full advantage
  • Alternating strategies for lining up conversion attempts
  • Using lane geography and the leverage window effectively
  • Mastering the cross-lane strategy and the third-arrow method for converting spares
  • Shooting the bucket, the washout, and the picket fence
Tips on identifying and correcting common errors, innovative practice methods, and David Ozio's "12 Principles of Better Bowling" round out this invaluable guide. David Ozio has won numerous PBA tournaments, including the Firestone Tournament of Champions, and was voted the 1991 Player of the Year by his peers. Dan Herbst is the author of several sports books, including Bowling 200+.

3.0 out of 5 stars Still another beginner oriented bowling book, June 11, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Bowl Like a Pro (Paperback)
There's nothing wrong with working on the basics, but this book is very much directed to people who can't average 170.

Reviewing basics is fine and if you aren't to that 170 level you could do worse than to buy this book. If you are already better than that, forget it, save your money.

1.0 out of 5 stars Save your money., May 2, 2000
This review is from: Bowl Like a Pro (Paperback)
There's almost nothing in this book that I could find useful. Even for a beginner this book speaks in generalisms and ambiguities. In most respects, it seems the author's position is that you should do whatever works for you with very little more guidance. I'm moving on to look for a useful book.
