Work On Your Bowling Brain Speed


Physical speed is extremely beneficial in bowling because of the increased pin carry it creates, but brain speed is equally important. Some of the common complaints from bowlers about their games is that they “don’t adjust fast enough”, or they “missed the transition” or they “should have made that ball change sooner”. Quicker adjustments, or faster brain speed, is critical to good bowling. Many bowlers are behind in making those decisions because of fear of making things worse or lack of knowledge and experience. But doing nothing at all is even worse - that is simply defining the word ‘insanity’. A wrong guess is better than no guess at all. There is no shortcut to experience, but to make that experience more valuable and to shorten the learning curve, you have to start making adjustment decisions much quicker. As soon as your ball does something you did not expect, listen to it and do something about it. No bowler is ever going to be right the first time every time, but with a no fear attitude and by taking a leap of bowling faith, you can get to the right adjustment much faster. You have to be ok with being wrong from time to time - everyone is in our sport because it is a guess. And if that guess wasn’t the correct one at that time, go with another guess immediately, and again if necessary until you find the right answer. The good thing about being wrong sometimes is that you know what not to do next time you are faced with a similar situation, and that plays a big part in how we evolve and improve as a bowler.

“How is your bowling game at this early point of the 2024-25 season? If some adjustments are needed to your game, contact me about setting up some training sessions.”

"Bowling Beyond The Basics"

 

Bowling Beyond The Basics was released in July 2018 and still continues to be a number one bestseller on Amazon.  James Freeman and I have been overwhelmed by the positive feedback we are still receiving from people who have read the book.  We have heard from bowlers of all skill levels and coaches who say it has changed the way they look at our sport.  We used a lot of science and math to show what is really happening on the lanes and what bowlers can do about it.  There is not as much bad luck in our sport as we have always thought.  In fact, there is so much good luck that most often times we don’t even recognize it.  We examine how revs are really achieved, what the true pocket actually is, how important ball weight is to pin carry, and much much more.  If you haven’t read the book yet, we hope you will.  You can click here or on the image below to order yours today.
