5.0 out of 5 stars This helped my game!, March 9, 2011

This review is from: Norm Duke - Learn to Bowl Competitively DVD (DVD)

I've bought a few of the limited bowling dvds out there namely the Fred Borden and Ken Yokobosky dvds and the Parker Bohn. This one is the best out of all of them. It is the most modern (created in 2010) and is well done. Its is not a home made video like some of the ones I listed earlier. Grade A quality here.

If you are a beginner, then you may be a little overwhelmed. But for the intermediate/league bowlers, this will definately help your game. Norm breaks down the aspect of the game that most people don't quite understand like how to read the lanes, where to get your power, and the science behind bowling. The dvd is broken up into about 20 different topics. If you are struggling with a specific aspect of the game you can easily jump to it.

If you search the bowling ball forums on this dvd you'll also find that the reviews were positive. This dvd could be better if he spent more time on some of the topics. I just wish it was a longer dvd.

there was some very good information regarding all aspects of bowling and why things happen. I have seen many videos but this one had new information i've never seen before. Norm is a good speaker and makes it easy to watch.

Kudos to Norm and Storm for putting a product out that was worth every cent.
This is the most comprehensive video on the SPORT of bowling to date since the Don Johnson series. Don's tapes were made prior to the advent of resin (a.k.a. cheater balls) when a 200 average was considered PAR.
The Typical House Shot THS, and modern equipment are to bowling what steroids was to baseball in the 70 home run era. Be that as it may, how you finish relative to the field is what counts.

There's a lot of value here for new to intermediate bowlers. Note that as in many cases, the drills, tips,
systems that are conveyed in almost any bowling book or video are the product of years of experience, shared knowledge, and coaching.

Videos do not customarily list acknowledgements and thanks etc. I'm sure Norm would be the first to pay homage to those who have influenced his career. One such person would be Bill Hall.

If you are compiling a library of instructional material on the sport of bowling, add this one, it's a winner.

Others: Par Bowling, the Challenge by Thomas C Kouros, still the very best!
The Dick Ritger Series, look at Ritgers drills and you'll how widespread his influence remains
Focused on Bowling by Dr. Dean Hinitz
Read & watch anything by Bill Hall

Remember that there is NO substitute for quality 1:1 instruction.
