Modern Bowling

[Mike White]

With the oils and balls of days gone by the bowler had to create the hook. Now they have to get the ball down the lane at the correct spot with the right amount of speed, revs and rotation.

During those days gone, what do you think the ingredients were for the bowler to create hook?

How is that different from today?

How is it different? The position of the bowler to create upward leverage to generate upward lift versus all leverage and lift being projected out now. So the biomechanics and kinseology are different, although many successful bowlers years ago incorporated more modern techniques. So maybe the biggest difference is what is considered "correct" technique in many center across the globe.
