This book is very very basic. I'm surprised at Jose the bowlers' review. He could only have been talking about conventional vs fingertip drilling as this book does not address the layout and drilling of a bowling ball at all. It is scorekeeping and the pin numbers and basic information about lanes and four steps. For a very raw beginner or teaching a class of beginners, it would work.

The book title says it all - Skills, Drills, & Strategies. It takes you from the very beginning showing basics of stance and release to straightforward strategies in approaching spares in a logical manner to ensure you convert them sensibly. Think about it, you make all your spares and your average is likely to be at least 170 - not bad for the weekly bowler. This is part of the Teach, Coach, Play series and allows you to follow a predetermined pathway to bowling success. Some of the self analysis reviews are drawn out in text but if your at the alley you won't be using them anyway - not really necessary. Get this book and you will improve.

I didn't think this book was worth the read. It is very basic and anyone that puts time into the game would already know most of what is detailed in this book.
