Bowling: Knowledge is the keyBowling: Knowledge is the Key by Fred Borden

Written by ex Team USA coach Fred Borden, another very well respected coach from the US. What he does not know about the game is probably not worth knowing so this book is a must have for any serious bowler.
As you reach higher in the sport, so the game becomes more of a mental struggle, with yourself, with the lane conditions and sometimes with opponents who will try to distract you. Knowledge is indeed the key to taking your game to that higher level. Any book that increases your knowledge must therefore be a help and this must surely be one of the best on the market at the moment.

A book giving the basics and background rather than being actually aimed at the pro level bowler according to the reviews on the Amazon website. However, David Ozio is a pro bowler with a lot of knowledge to impart so if you need to brush up on those areas, this is a book to consider.
