    Rich Carruba. Better known as the man that makes a video that is word for word the same exact that the text is. I will admit, he has more personality when I read what he says rather than listen to what he says. He does have a lot of good tips on the site. Now I'm wondering how much of the other topics are also off course.

    I think expertvillage is a joke.
    Notice the title said "professional bowling" but he made several mistakes in the video.

    I posted that vid before. He is a joke and isn't even listed as a USBC certified coach. So even if he was certified once upon a time, he obviously couldn't pass the USBC test. I love how he can't take the steps even as he counts them. I could understand some if it was life but he chose to record and air this crap. If those are his standards, I'm thrilled I've never met him!

    Bob, I'm ok with anybody making a video. But putting that crap out for the whole world to see? Let's just be glad that everybody doesn't have standards that low for themselves at their profession.

    Ok, now I know who he is and where I know him from. He was a pro at the same time I was in the 70's and probably ran into him at one or more of the tournaments in the NY/ New England area. I also see where he is now with Bowlingball.com doing their coaching articles. Oh well.......no comment from here.

    Opps. I was referring to the expert village video. Rich's videos are bad but nowhere near as bad as that one. See post #12 for the video.
