After 3 months I finally finished the book last night and now I need to return it and pay my healthy overdue book fee to the library. Now I would like to see if I can find the Mark Baker book.
I'm also reading bowling execution version 2. Focusing on the game seems like a good read too.

I remember when Mark Baker just started out giving lessons. He at that time was not real popular as a instructor. But after a few yrs. he studied the game much more indepth and has become one of the country's best. I believe he still teaches in Orange County (So. Calif) and other places as well. One of my friends got his book "game changer" and thinks it is s pretty good book. I sit and read.
beerframe...how was the book? you see a difference after reading it?
We gotta do something about the spammers that keep cropping up in here. Yikes.
Getting us back on topic, just like anything else, too much information can be a bad thing. It's very easy to fill up a bookshelf with all sorts of bowling books, read all the websites you can find and watch a zillion videos on youtube and end up one big fat confused mess.
I'm purposely limiting the information I'm studying right now to the basics. For that, I recommend Mark Baker's game changer because he boils down the physical game to it's basic components and gives you simple, common sense answers to the questions we all ask ourselves such as "why can't I do that all the time" when we throw a great shot or "why did I just miss left when the last two shots that hit that arrow were right on target" and so on. I just bought it yesterday and I'm already on my second read through.
For instructional video, I've been watching the Norm Duke 1-2-3-4-5-6 videos on youtube and I've learned quite a bit from that as well. For starters, when I start in my stance I have the ball resting on my left hand (my throwing hand). After watching Norm's videos, I know now that I should be supporting the ball with my right hand instead in my stance, so that my throwing arm stays relaxed and loose - I had no idea! But it makes perfect sense and I can't wait to put what I've learned from the book and the videos into practice.
