Kegal Training Center
« on: December 28, 2015, 11:05:58 PM »
I'm thinking about going to the Kegal Training Center for some private lessons. I'm going to Orlando this spring so I figured why not check it out, its a little spendy but hey, you only live once right??? Has anybody here gone to the Kegal Training Center for a full or half day private lesson? If so, what was your experience like? Was it worth going? Did your game improve?

Although I have never gotten the lessons half day or full day, I have been there a few times to practice..50.00 for 3 hours and you can practice on much tougher conditions than a house shot. I have watched the coaches work with people and it looks really cool..they film you and go to the computer and show you things about your game....I'd like to spring for the lessons at some point--If I have the money..but it is a nice facility they have there and they have a full pro shop there and a café so you can eat lunch there in between the morning and afternoon sessions.  If the price is too high for you, get your whole bowling team to go with you , the whole team can have 1 or two instructors for the day or half  a day for a much smaller price per person than just going yourself.

I went a few years back for a full day lesson and will say it was a great experience. The amount of information you're given is great, I went to fine tune some things in my timing and they have paid off. The multiple angles they video from, the CATs system, and the tips the can give you on how to play different oil patterns is great.

A less expensive alternative would be working with Mike Jasnau at the Stadium in Reno.  While I don't think Mike would argue that his sessions are as in depth as you could get in Florida, he is very good, and the CATS analysis is great.  I went to him during Nationals in 2004 and he got me pointed in a direction that really helped me make some changes I was trying for.  Went again in 2007 and was very pleased with the feedback in that session.  These were basically a couple of short sessions, but very useful

I know Del who works  at kegel and is an amazing coach. Even though it may seem pricey you get out of it everything you put in. If you are open to what they are saying and put in the effort to get better its well worth it. I have seen and heard people who have gone there and either want to argue with them or dont want to change and when they leave they say its a waste of money and complain. Go in there wanting to get better and its impossible to not improve. You have the best lane surfaces (best topography), best video analysis, CATS and more importantly some of the best coaches in the world. Coaches who have taught all over the world for national teams, guys who travel to coach other coaches.

As for avabobs suggestion to see Jasnau. He is a great coach as well. Plenty of tour guys work with him. My only suggestion is if you are going to see him while you are at nationals is to see him after you bowl. Last thing you need is to be second guessing yourself on something that he wants you to change the day before you bowl your squads. I know a few guys who have seen him before hand and havent bowled well because they are focusing on what he coached them and not the bowling at hand.

If you are in town go to KEGEL for sure if you go to reno Mike is a great coach. Youll win with either decision if you truly want to get better.

I would second that suggestion about working with Jasnau, or anyone else, after you bowl, unless you are really struggling already.

In the past before Del was there I have been there.

Great session and learned my numbers!  Interesting.

As a believer in personal lessons and drills I often believe it is the time AFTER a lesson that determines ones gains from the lessons.

I am a great believer in drills and apparently so is Dell as he lists a video in here
USBC Premium videos :  Titled "5 basic drills".
http://www.usbcbowlingacademy.com/

that he claims almost makes all his bowlers better without personal coaching time.  Just an idea to get a feel for their teaching and then if you like....then go!

Here is the preview, then one has to sign up to see completely.  Sometimes or in the past they used to have some incredible 1 year deals!

Let us know your thoughts whether you go just video, just kegel, or both.

I have done lessons with Jasnau before as well, twice.  and for the hour or so lesson it was very good.  well in depth.  pretty interesting to see the CATS reports, ect.  very beneficial if you practice what he teaches and keep up with any changes.

first time I went it was in June for the nationals event.  after the tournament I didn't pick up a ball until league started the following September.  lost all the progress made and had to start over.

if you are committed to keeping up with the instruction and drills that Jasnau suggests, it is very much worth the time and $.
