    I am more than halfway through the book and really like it! It is an easy read, and he makes things easy to understand. I am going to try and finish the book tonight before I go do some practice.

    The best part about the book for me is him actually explaining why certain things effect your game, or the fact he doesn't want to rip your whole game apart to try and fix it. Just make small changes here and there. The other part I like is just reading the book and realizing what I am doing right and what I need to work on without even seeing myself bowl.

    I would recommend this book to any bowler after they have the basic game down. This is definitely not for a beginner bowler as it would confuse them if they didn't know what they are doing or much of the lingo yet.

    I just finished this book. I found it pretty enlightening on many of the mistakes I do. The way it was written made it for me a pretty easy read that I plan on revisiting. I like how he was breaking everything down. Now I know I have a lot to work on but I know how to tackle it more efficiently. I also like how he would add about what angle to look at and videotape the bowler for certain aspects of the overall game.

    I literally just picked this book up. 10 pages in and already have had an "aha" moment!

    I was including the forward maybe... but truthfully I'm reading it on my kindle app for my phone and it doesn't include page numbers! Could've been page 2 for all I know! LOL

    That book answered a lot of questions for me. There were a lot of aspects that made sense to me but not the old school coaches around this area. After that book I grew a pair and have been e-mailing Joe Slowinski regularly. Turns out that my outside the box thinking is thought of as correct by a few Gold coaches. Plus he has all the research to back up a hypothesis.

    I bought the book for iphone haven't got to the part where it explained anything yet except I know my footwork and my swingpath is off I found that out about myself but I haven't learned how to fix it yet so now I am taking a break from it I am going to start back reading it again soon.
