Review

The Ultimate Guide to Weight Training for Bowling may be the best book on the subject, and not only because it's the only book on the subject. Part of Robert Price's Ultimate Guide to Weight Training for Sports series, the book contains descriptions and photographs of nearly 100 weight training, flexibility and abdominal exercises. It features year round bowling-specific weight-training programs and comes with links to free record keeping charts. The book's clean design and well-illustrated instructions make it a valuable guide for those looking to get themselves in top bowling condition. --US Bowler Magazine, Winter 2007-08 Edition

I bowl at tournament {NABI} level. Your book has helped my endurance, power, and finesse. I've never even heard of most of the exercises the book prescribed for me, but let me tell you THEY HAVE WORKED. My form is much smoother than it's ever been and my wrist snaps with the force and precision of a professional. I've already told a handful of my friends about your Bowling book and I wouldn't be surprised if they've already bought it. Thanks again. --Alfred D

I just started your Bowling Program from the Ultimate Guide to Weight Training for Bowling. I have been a long time recreational bowler with two 700 series to my credit and I have won a doubles tournament. I m just coming back after an 18 month injury layover. This program will definitely help me with strengthen the muscles I need to bowl so I can prevent being injured again. I have been working out with a trainer in person for the past 12 months, but now I can focus on keeping records and training on my own with your books help. Thanks a million. --Allen K

THis book has nothing to do with bowling. THe author runs together all his muscle pictures and descriptions that he obviously uses for every book in his series. There is nothing that talks about which muscles associated with bowling need particular work. Thighs? Triceps? Biceps? Who knows?

4.0 out of 5 stars Bowling is 2/3 Mental 1/3 physical
Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2013

There are several books on mental training that I have read but for the physical end of things this book is great. The stronger and more flexible you are the easier it will be to control your ball. Some of the training in this book will interact with your mental training. Such as Being strong enough to fine tune your control but NOT to muscle it down the alley. Think of it this way. You have a tennis ball in your hand and you want to toss it into the air but just as you loose touch with it you want to caress the bottom of the ball. Now think of having a bowling ball in the same position and want to do the same thing. The stronger you are the easier it will be to do that to the bowling ball because it is not near your strength limit.

3.0 out of 5 stars Little, if any, bowling specific information.
Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2014

This is a book on weight training. There are words within this book that allude to bowling in the initial pages, but don't expect much specifics, if any, on how an exercise will relate to improving bowling. Will the exercises help? As much as any decent training program, I suppose. There are a lot of different exercises, maybe too many, and that is why it would have been nice to understand how a specific exercise will benefit a bowler. I can only recommend this book if you don't already own a decent book on weight training. Change the title and substitute almost any sport for "bowling" in the early pages and this book would read the same. As I already own many exercise books, I lost interest real quick. I'll take another look, but unless I missed something, buy only if you don't have weight and exercise books now.

The information is good, I expected to learn something new, but I didn't. Not the book's fault. The book was in mint condition,(bought it used). I'll past it on to the kids.

2.0 out of 5 stars No triceps training?
Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2015

I bought the book and I expected more. For instance the bowling routine doesn't include any exercise for training the triceps, which are very important in releasing the ball

A waste of money... but clever marketing
