5.0 out of 5 stars The Most Informative Bowling Book Available , March 12, 2007

By	Tyrone A. Roberson "Tyrone A. Roberson" (Denver, Colorado) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent explanation of the geometry of the game, November 3, 2006

By	L. K. Bunch - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a very good book for beginning bowlers. Detailed charts explain how to adjust the starting position to correct missed shots. There is also a very explanation of the importance of walking a straight line to maintain a correct angle. There are also helpful tips on timing, form, etc. and a chapter on understanding scoring and league terminology.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great reading must for the starter, February 23, 2006

By	Ronald Hefter "dukmann" (Central Wisconsin USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a great book for both the beginner bowler and a great review for the bowler wanting to increase score. A must read helps a bowler get rid of bad habit that many bowlers pick up over the course of a season of bowling.
