Learning to hook
« on: November 01, 2006, 07:33:01 AM »
My son has taken an interest in bowling. He is mainly a straight bowler, but is trying to develop a hook. Aside from a coach, what are some other ways he can learn to develop his hook...ie books, vids, etc? I am working with him, but I want him to work on some things on his own so he can feel he accomplished something on his own thereby boosting his confidence. Any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

There is a video called Cybervision (Bowling) which is an excellent training aid in the whole approach and release. It uses PBA role models and shows the correct way of doing things in real time and slow motion, the idea of creating muscel memory. You can find it in most libraries and if you're looking to buy, I found a copy on amazon.
