Product Description

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


Product Description
Here, Jowdy presents methods used by pro players to help all bowlers improve their scores, including demonstrations of how to execute each component of various shots. Readers are also instructed on choosing the proper equipment and overcoming difficult lane conditions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bowling Execution by John Jowdy, 22 Nov 2002
This is simply a work of art. It is the first modern day ten pin bowling book around. I have and have read several bowling books on the subject and this is the first to explain modern day advancements in the sport. A lot of the other books I have read are good in that you can obtain some use from them, but this one is THE instrucion manual for todays bowler. John explains all the facets of the sport, from set up to swing, from modern day equiptment to being mentally prepared for play.His modern day ideas of style and execution for modern day equiptment are different to many that are shown in older books. What worked previously can be improved upon and he explains how. His explanations are easy to understand and his advice on a free arm swing is second to none. Pictures and diagrams are included to help visualise all he tries to convey. His vast coaching experience is brought to you in this one book.When you see the number of top proffesionals in the modern day game that he has helped with his methods then you will see that this could change your game as it has mine. It simplifies what I thought was a complicated game and makes it clear and basic. I just wish I could have one lesson in person from this man, but as that is never going to happen then this has to be the next best thing. Another good manual is Knowledge is the key, by Fred Borden. Not as up to date as this but it contains some excellent info to help your game.If you are serious about ten pin bowling, or you just want to improve your game to where you are in control then I advise you to get this book. Its a fun read too.

5.0 out of 5 stars John Jowdy - Bowling Execution, 30 May 2008
By J. Beckwith "jimmy-saki" (Leeds, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
In short, if you are a bowler who wishes to take their game to another level, YOU NEED THIS BOOK.

It is a bowlers bible, every aspect of bowling is brought to the table :- Release, where to stand, how to read lanes, ideas on swing, hand positions and different spin techniques. This book is absolutely packed to the rafters with tips, stories and ideas from the top pros's of today's game. It gives you the tools and confidence to get on the lanes and crush those pins, i have noticed my game improve while reading and implementing aspects from this book and if i can, then you can too.

Technically sound and not afraid to dabble in a few less than textbook ideas John Jowdys Bowling Execution is bowling's Premier book and you really should take the time to read it.
