About this title

Review

"I believe bowlers everywhere will want to buy this book. John Jowdy helped me achieve hall of fame status in bowling; now what I learned from John is in print for all bowlers to learn." Mike Aulby, 27-time PBA champion and ABC and PBA Hall of Fame member ""John Jowdy takes the complex game of bowling and puts it in an understandable format that no doubt will help all bowlers. When even I had a problem with my game, I trusted the eyes of John Jowdy to help me put my game back on the proper course. John Jowdy takes his experience as an accomplished player and as the coach of many of the current and former greats of the pro tour and puts it into a book that is not only informative but also interesting and fun to read."" Marshall D. Holman, PBA Hall of Fame member and former television analyst for the PBA on ESPN "Having worked with John Jowdy for a number of years, I think it's great that he has finally put his teaching philosophies into a book. John always tries to keep things simple and work with each person's strengths." Nikki Gianulias, Women's Professional Bowling Hall of Fame member, Women's International Bowling Congress Hall of Fame member "If you are looking to get to the next level, then this book is for you. John Jowdy is one of the best coaches the PBA Tour has ever known. His correlations between what you should do and who have accomplished these feats is unparalleled in any other book on bowling." Parker Bohn III, 1999 PBA Player of the Year
