Book Reviews of Bowling Execution - 2nd Edition
Book Review: A great teaching book, and relevant to today's evolving conditions
Summary: 5 Stars
From describing the basics of bowling (armswing, approach, release) to going into some of the more advanced techniques (hand position, equipment, lane play) Mr. Jowdy's book is one of the best out there on the subject IMO. Bowling has evolved a incredible amount since the days of rubber balls and lacquered lanes, and you must have a through knowledge of today's equipment and styles to be successful at a high level.
Advanced bowlers perhaps might get the least out of this book, since if they are averaging 220+ they already have a fairly good grasp on bowling fundamentals, but I do think this book is a MUST have for those below that level. There simply are not many books out there regarding bowling that are as through as Mr. Jowdy's.
I also throughly recommend the companion book, "Focused on Bowling". This book covers the mental game of bowling, which is what higher level average and competition bowling becomes and combining these books with coaching and practice will make you the most complete bowler you can be.
