Excellent teaching tool for novice bowlers

I am a complete novice in bowling, and this video really helped me to properly start on the game. The instructions are introduced in a very structured manner which can really help a beginner. Yet, it is a good tool for reviewing one's progress in the game.

There are a lot of tutorials that one can find on the web, but no online tutorial video can compare to the "Essential Keys to Better Bowling." Happy bowling!

I'm an intermediate bowler, and did not like the way this DVD was set up. I don't recommend this for beginners either. It gave good tips but not any drills you can do to help increase your skill.

not nearly as good as I'd hoped

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.

Doesn't really take advantage of video

Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2005

The video series is ok for someone starting and learning to bowl. They cover the basics like how to throw the ball and the approach but when it comes to adapting for changing lane conditions they just talk about moving in and out to find the lane to the pocket. Not one graphic to show where or what they are talking about, this whole section of the video could be audio only, it's just talking. It's basic, if that is what you want it will get you started but plan on needing more advanced information fairly quickly.

Good basic instructions

This DVD has very good basic pointers for improving your bowling game, but the presentation could have been more engaging. I purchased this item to assist Junior bowlers in improving their game and correcting bad habits. It was clear enough for them to understand, but had a difficult time holding their attention. They were quickly bored.

great for beginner or people who haven't bowled in a long while

I reviewed the tape before going bowling last week and bowled 4 strikes followed by a spare in a row. First time in my life. It worked for me to refresh all the rules and keep them top of the mind. Highly recommend.
