Movie Reviews of Essential Keys to Better Bowling
Movie Review: not nearly as good as I'd hoped
Summary: 1 Stars
I'm 60 years old, just getting back into bowling after a 30+ year layoff. Back in the old days, I carried a fair average, but so much has changed now that I'm struggling to come to grips with the basics, I guess. I bought a new ball, one that supposed to be above average in performance on today's lane conditions and it's a fingertip, which I've never used before.
I bought this DVD in the hope that it would help me understand how to hold and throw the fingertip properly, by having good video on each part of the process. Well, nothing there on that. They obviously know that the hardest part is the release of the ball, because they state so specifically, calling it the most misunderstood part of bowling. They take 20 seconds to tell you that you need to have your thumb come out of the ball and then rotate your hand with the fingers still inside, to get your hook. That's the same thing that every book on the topic says. BUT, THEY DON'T SHOW YOU HOW TO DO THAT!! The one fellow is wearing a wrist brace. He's an ex PBA tour pro, so he must think that the wrist brace is a good thing. But, they don't mention that at all... phooey.... What good is a video that does nothing but read the fundamentals to you? Wasted my money on this one. :-(
I don't know, maybe this is a good DVD for rank beginners, but I don't see how it would be of benefit to anyone that can keep the ball out of the gutter most of the time. I think that anyone could get the same info from any of the books that cover this topic and save a lot of money doing so.
