5.0 out of 5 stars Tex McFaden's Review of Essential Keys to Better Bowling, March 5, 2005

This review is from: Essential Keys to Better Bowling (DVD)

This is a fairly fast-paced DVD that does what it says it will do - cover the essentials to better bowling. It's a nice DVD to refresh everyone on the basics. No matter what level you perform at, you always need to review the fundamentals and that's where this comes in handy. It's easy to watch and easy to follow. Beginners probably get the most out of this DVD and will want to watch it several times prior to practice and then watch it after practice to help assess your strengths and the areas that need some improvement. The rating is based on the fact that the content matches the title and purpose of the DVD. This is not something that an advanced bowler would have at the top of their purchase list, but again, it's a nice review of fundamentals that remain key to everyone's game. The material is presented by two of the most knowledgeable bowlers in the sport. It is a bit pricey, but the price is probably appropriate for its small market focus.

3.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't really take advantage of video, March 21, 2005

This review is from: Essential Keys to Better Bowling (DVD)

The video series is ok for someone starting and learning to bowl. They cover the basics like how to throw the ball and the approach but when it comes to adapting for changing lane conditions they just talk about moving in and out to find the lane to the pocket. Not one graphic to show where or what they are talking about, this whole section of the video could be audio only, it's just talking. It's basic, if that is what you want it will get you started but plan on needing more advanced information fairly quickly.

1.0 out of 5 stars Too Basic for Almost Everyone..., January 9, 2007

This review is from: Essential Keys to Better Bowling (DVD)

As the title says, this DVD addresses only the very basics and essentials of bowling. Too basic perhaps... I found it useful only to beginners. Similar information is readily available on the Internet for either reading or watching as windows media files.

If you consider this DVD wait before ordering. A much better alternative is Beyond the Bowling Basics, a detailed review of bowling techniques; from very basic to advanced, by Bohn III and Angelo. All the information of bowling essentials has been covered in a much more detailed and organized way on Bohn's DVD.
