I didn't finish this before I had to return it to the library, but it was pretty helpful.

The author was/is a trainer for professional bowlers, and boy, he does not let you forget it! He mentions about a zillion anecdotes. "You should use this sort of approach, even though Joe Schmo used a different kind for years and won twelve PBA championships, and Mike Roller used THIS sort of approach and sucked until I helped him and then he won nine PBA titles" etc etc etc ad nauseum. You can skim all that stuff, though, and there's a lot of good advice in there.

Thoroughly enjoyed this book and believe it to have helped my game. Definitely trust Jowdy's free-arm swing theory and hopefully already take that approach.

Some good technical advice. Will continue to skim through as I prepare to join a league for the first time in a while.

Solid info. Good for a somewhat experienced bowler , but a beginner would be overwhelmed and lost.
