[.ca] Bowling Strikes (ISBN 0809239779)

this book tought me all I know about the game:
this book was great. It had all the info you need to know if you want to be a good bowler. all you beginners,this is a must read. It has lots of helpful tips and stratiges from todays top professionals, such as Ernie Mcrackin and Roy Munson. All of you beginners out there, I have three words for you; BUY THIS BOOK!

Will help beginners and intermediates.:
Another nice book for beginners to intermediates. I generally find I have the same complaint with most bowling books. Not enough illustrations and drawings of the release. Showing works a lot better than just telling. There's just not enough useful information here for more advanced bowlers who want to graduate to the 200+ range...

Increasing power and scores.:
Ive been bowling for 2 years now and messed about with bowling straight then spinning the ball but my averages were always around 140. Ive had this book for 2 weeks and I now have a comfortable style and bowl 160 average (top score 210). The author tells you how to apply spin to the ball via the "squeeze"...excellent book and judy is very pretty! Nice one amazon

I wasn't impressed:
Bowling Strikes was off to a great start. It jumped right into the mechanics of bowling in good detail. Suddenly, after 30 or 40 pages, it just died. It almost looked like the author became bored and just wanted to throw another hundred pages on to make the book longer. A good portion was spent displaying almost every possible spare. First of all, with the title being Bolwing Strikes, was was there more space dedicated to picking up spares? I would have rather the author diagnosed precisely what caused the spare and options to correct your throw rather then spending a page on how to pick up the 6-9-10! Even stranger, the author assumes you're advanced enough that you throw a hook, yet spends several pages on ettiquette, how to score, and injuries. The first 20 or 30 pages have some helpful tips, but you're better off spending the money on practice. Best suited for someone who just bought a fingertip ball and wants to learn how to hook.

Absolutely the best book on bowling I have ever read!!!:
Dawson Taylor has written a masterpiece on how to improve your game. This book should not be missed by the bowling novice or professional! I want to read more by this author! He has done a great job here!
