Book Reviews of Bowling Execution - 2nd Edition
Book Review: Written by the man who coaches champions.
Summary: 5 Stars
There is no doubt that this book does not beling on the bookshelves of every serious bowler. It belongs, dog eared, marked up, pages worn to the feel of silk, in a bowlers bag -- able to be referenced during down time to refresh the mind and concentration. Jowdy is recognized as one of the greatest coaches ever, and is a fantastic communicator of his ideas and teachings. His style appears to have been tempered by the editor though, who seems to be a tad fond of the 'copy and paste' function - where anytime 3 specific people are mentioned, by the middle of the book you know exactly what the next 5 sentences will say. But that's really my only disenchantment of the book
The book is filled with pictures and examples that feature many of the current PBA tour's best bowlers. Jowdy also when he explains the various styles a bowler can adopt within a section of his/her game, he also provides names of PBA bowlers who also follow that style -- presumeably so that the serious student can go to youtube and type in the name and watch those bowlers in action.
On a personal note, there were finer concepts in my own game that I was struggling with -- couldn't quite wrap my head around them no matter how much I watched videos or read about them. Jowdy's book provided me with several "A-ha" moments that caused those concepts to click in my head -- and soon thereafter in my game as well. A solid book that is highly recommended.
