Bowling Camps
« on: May 19, 2008, 11:47:47 AM »
I've been working on my game lately and learned that coaching is very valuable since a friend that runs a local pro shop at my bowling alley worked with me. I was wondering if anybody knew about any bowling camps around the east coast (mainly New Jersey). Also, I just want an opinion on bowling camps. Do they really have a huge impact on your game even if you have a 200 average?

I have heard that complaint about Ritger many times.  The reason is people do not understand what Ritger is geared for.  Ritger teaches fantastic fundamentals.  Many of them even transfer to the modern game perfectly.  The problem is that many people think they do not need that.  He teaches the best basics!  Basics are basics and translate to almost everyone the same way.  It's not building robots, it's building a great foundation.  In many ways a lot of the early Fred Borden teachings are the same way.  They became the base for USBC's training classes.

I've been on a Dick Ritger course many years ago now, and I think what you get from it will differ depending on the way you bowl when you go in.
If you don't have good fundamentals, like those taught by Ritger, then what he teaches will be a big departure from what you're used to doing, and so you will likely see your average drop after. When I attended the course, I had already built my game based on the kind of drills that Ritger espouses, and as a result saw my average increase by 20 pins or so for 6-8 months after.
