Product Description

Product Description

Although there are countless instructional books on how to bowl, there aren't any that tell you something much more important—how to correct what you're doing wrong. Through the expertise of former Professional Bowlers Association superstar Mike Durbin, From Gutterballs to Strikes provides bowlers of all levels with quick tips and solutions for correcting 101 of the most common bowling errors. Knowing how to correct mistakes is a vital part of any athletic endeavor; that's why coaches serve such a crucial role. But with the exception of top-level players, few bowlers have the benefit of personal coaching. This book lets Mike Durbin serve as your very own bowling coach. Your game will improve quickly and dramatically with his easy-to-follow corrections to bowling's 101 most common errors—from bad foot position to poor timing to improper arm swing. Mike Durbin is the only bowler to have won the sport's crown jewel, the Tournament of Champions, on three occasions. A 14-time PBA Tour champion, he was inducted into its Hall of Fame in 1984. Durbin now serves as a commentator for ESPN's coverage of the PGA Tour. Dan Herbst is the author of eight sports-instruction books, including Bowling 200+, Bowl Like a Pro, and Bowling 300. He has written articles for Sports Illustrated, USA Today, and Bowlers Journal, among other publications.

4.0 out of 5 stars One Of A Kind, Literally, 22 Jul 1999
By A Customer
This is a very good book, and the reason why I say that this is one of a kind is because it is the only book out there that tells you common errors and tells you how to correct them. All the other books just tell you what to do, as if you can't tell a bowling ball from a basketball. The one thing that this book won't do is that it won't help out the people who don't know jack about bowling. But it will help out everyone else. Great book.

4.0 out of 5 stars A must read for all bowlers..., 27 May 1999
By A Customer
A book written more for the experienced bowler, Mike Durbin shares his insights and experiences on the PBA Tour to drive home some common errors and how to correct them. I read through the book, and his simple ways to corrects what sometimes are major flaws make this book easy for anyone who has ever bowled to use and reuse-I keep this one in my bowling bag!!!!!
