Has anyone here used Ron Hoppe as a coach?
« on: March 25, 2004, 08:04:50 AM »
Ron Hoppe is coming to Las Vegas in April and i just wanted to get feedback on his methods and Ideas of your experience with him. I met him in the past and like him but i am unsure of if i should use him or not???  

I am currently using Bill Hall and feel that is he is dead on with my problems of why i am not always solid at the line. My driller who was taught to drill by Ron Hoppe is sold on me going to Ron for the week he is here for the $300.00 fee he charges which for him is very cheap. He is Mikas coach and coaches many national teams in Asia but i do not know anyone who uses him locally but have never heard anything but great things about him always.

So do i try Ron Hoppe or stick with Bill Hall who is a great coach and now a friend too me????  What are your thoughts on this and what road would you choose more instruction or will i get messed up by different methods??

mrbowlingnut -- But, from what I've heard, Billy Hall is also a great coach.  I think a bowler needs ONE coach to work with that will become familiar with his game and identify problems.  If you want that ONE coach to be Ron Hoppe, then go to his sessions and continue with him.  Otherwise, skip them and stick with Billy Hall.  (I wish I had your problem - here in the boonies we don't get these opportunities.)  --  JohnP
