Cuando hice la compra al mismo tiempo ordene otros 4 libros sobre boliche y definitivamente este es el mejor. Tiene excelentes tips para resolver errores y tecnicamente ofrece información para todos los niveles. Lo recomiendo ampliamente es un libro que todo bolichista debiera tener.

Well so far not much help, I had hoped for more pictures to make it easy to bowl. I guess I need to study it a little more.

I used to bowl about a 90 - 120, with my average in my last league 114 (sometimes I bowled a game in the 140's and one game I got a 198). But I used to start with both feet together, left edge of left shoe on the center dot, ball in center of chest, and then took 5 steps starting with the left foot, swinging ball back just a little bit while bending my right arm around my torso and then struggling to use my arm muscles to straighen my arm and aim the ball, constantly holding the ball with my right palm facing left. I've learned from this book that my old technique is all wrong.

This book seemed the most comprehensive compared to summeries of other bowling books, and seems perhaps meant for a bowling class, since it has a lot of bowling practice drills. Some of the bowling drills won't work well for me since I won't have a partner or a string from where I start up to the foul linen but overall this is a comprehensive book. It looks like it was written by a college physical fitness instructor who is or was an instructor at Perdue university; I also like that this book treats bowling as a serious sport comparable to tennis or some sport like games, not just some casual thing where you randomly walk up to the foul line and randomly toss the ball; its treated as a sport that has better and worse technique, something that must be practiced a lot to learn. I haven't started my next league yet since reading this book and I've read just half the book so far but I already have an idea of a bowling technique that is different and seems better than how I used to bowl. So this is a great book if you patient, read it thoroughly and do whatever of the drills you can before each bowling session.

Revision - 11/29/2011

After bowling 6 nights in my current league, I realize that its easy to verbally explain how to bowl but harder for me to actually do what i think I should do. There is no one right way to bowl but rather a range of variation in ways to hold your wrist and swing and walk up to the lane that the average very high scoring bowler uses. I can't make up my mind how to bowl and I keep changing my mind about how many steps I take and how I hold my wrist. Just keep changing the way you bowl until you figure out what works best for you but also try to follow teh guidelines of a pro bowler or a book if you really don't know how to bowl.

Great book for all bowlers wanting to go to the next level in their game.

Great book.

Didn't end up reading it but it sure did help to pass the test I had on it.

SMILE!
