BOWLING FUNDAMENTALS

A better way to learn the basics

Learning to bowl has never been easier—or more fun—than
with Bowling Fundamentals. Students will enjoy using this
resource because they will learn by doing, spending less time
reading and more time on the lanes. With simple instructions
and accompanying photographs, this book makes it easy to
teach students to bowl.

Bowling Fundamentals begins by teaching students about the
proper grip and stance. These chapters are followed by
instructions on footwork, arm swing, timing, and release.
Chapters also are devoted to hitting the pocket and mastering
left and right side spares. Finally, readers will get specific
information on league bowling.

Each chapter addresses a specific skill, leading the student
through a simple, four-step sequence:

You Can Do It: The skill is introduced with sequential
instructions and accompanying photographs.

More to Choose and Use: Variations and extensions of the
primary skill are covered.

Take It to the Lane: Readers learn how to apply the skill in competition.

Give It a Go: Several direct experiences—such as drills, small-
sided games, and self-tests—are provided to gauge, develop,
and hone the skill.
Writer Michelle Mullen won four national titles including one
major as well as nine regional titles in the Professional
Women’s Bowling Association and has coached bowlers of all
skill levels for more than 16 years. Her personal and
professional experiences allow her to understand clearly what
bowlers need and how to help them achieve success.
