Summary: this book tought me all I know about the game
Review: 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...

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Will help beginners and intermediates.

Summary: I wasn't impressed
Review: 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.

Summary: Made a tremendous change in my technique and my score!
Review: I have averaged in the low 130's for the last 6 years. After reading "Bowling Strikes", I bowled a 550+ series my first time out. All you have to do is read it and practice the easy techniques, and you can't help but improve.

Summary: Increasing power and scores.
Review: 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
