4.0 out of 5 stars Useful to beginners as well as Advanced (200+) bowlers., June 11, 1998

This review is from: Bowling Knowledge Is the Key (Paperback)

This book is a cut above most of the stuff on the market. It is very practical.

While short on pictures, it is long on drawings and diagrams that explain many bowling concepts in ways that are easy to understand.

This book is useful to the advanced bowler as well as the beginner. The lane condition chart at the back and the advice on playing different lane conditions is interesting and valuable.

Borden is somewhat dogmatic in telling one how to bowl, but his way does work and work well. He spent hours taping professionals and distilling their games down to the fundamental things you have to do to succeed. His other book, Secrets of the Big Money Pro's is even better. I give that one 5 stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars Knowledge is the Key, December 6, 1999

This review is from: Bowling Knowledge Is the Key (Paperback)

Most bowlers know that this book is a "must-have." Fred Borden is a world-renowned bowling coach and this book provides the fundamentals and concepts important for the serious beginning and advanced bowler to develop his/her game. I am a 200+ average bowler and I often pull this book off the shelf for reference (especially when I'm in a slump!).

a really good book for the beginning bowler. Covers the basic 4 and 5 step approaches, how to line up your shot and so forth. I owned this book years ago and lost it, so I bought this new copy. Its useful to review from time to time, particularly if you game is going poorly and you can't figure out why. Its a "back-to-basics" coverage of the topic.
