Hit the lanes and enjoy every frame! With Bowling Fundamentals, Second Edition, you’ll learn the game, skills, and tactics so you can play and compete at the highest levels.

With almost three decades of experience that includes multiple PWBA titles and collegiate championships, former Team USA Coach, Michelle Mullen shares the secrets that have made her one of the world’s most highly sought-after instructors for bowlers of all ages and skill levels. Covering the latest equipment and the essentials of execution—footwork, approach, arm swing, timing, finish position, and release, and follow-through—Mullen leaves no skill uncovered, including insight on making in-match changes for varying lane conditions. Specific instruction, photos, and illustrations for left-handed bowlers are featured for every shot. You’ll find tactical tips for picking up the game’s most common spares (in both a traditional and advanced spare-shooting system), advice for keeping emotions and nerves focus in check, and basic and advanced lane-play strategies that will make a significant impact on the score sheet.

Before you take to the lanes for your next league night or match or just for fun, add a copy of Bowling Fundamentals, Second Edition, to your bowling bag and turn those open frames into solid strikes and spares!
