Bowling/Expert Profile

Expertise

I am the author of True Bowler Adjustments bowling book. I can answer bowling adjustments questions dealing with the body, the ball, the lanes and using your eyes to read the ball reaction. I can also answer "most" drilling questions about bowling balls. I will generally answer your questions within 2 days. I am truly a "software guy" who loves the human or people part of coaching. Any questions concerning ball drilling, we want to direct to the "hardware guy," the true expert regarding ball fitting! Ball fitting is what I consider to be your first priority in bowling! Thanks in advance Warren!!! It will always be about teamwork with me! A very special "thanks in advance" for any help with drilling questions I may receive! If your question is about "How to bowl better? physically and mentally," I am here for you. Anything else will most likely be sent to the question pool for consideration by other members. I recently began my first year of ball drilling(6/1/2010). Thank you. :-)

What do you like about this subject?

Bowling is a topic discussed openly by those who often have a limited knowledge of the sport. Bowlers repeat what they "heard" someone else say. Dig deeper, you'll find information that makes you have that "ah hah!" moment. This is why I was compelled to write, "True Bowler Adjustments." I admit, I am not a writer by trade, however I do make my point. Getting better at it everyday!!!

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?

I hope to achieve USBC Gold Level Certification by 2015!

Something controversial or provocative about this subject

The more advanced and diversified the "teachers." The better opportunity for the students to achieve their goals.
