This new book includes 13 Chapters starting with introduction of how the book was created to believing in yourself on the lanes. Throughout the book there is real scientific research on bowlers brains while competing. Charts of the brain maps are used to help convey the subject matter of the book to the reader. Each chapter will hit home to different players and personality types. Through the book, a player will find a few chapters that really sink in and say, ’That is me”. “When you ask someone what part of bowling is mental and what part is physical, almost always you hear it is upwards of 80% mental. Yet when you ask someone how many hours have they practiced or worked on their mental game, they will say none. So how can you play at your highest level unless you practice the part of your game that is over 80%?” – Josh Blanchard “Josh Blanchard and Dr. Crews Ketterling have created something truly rare in the field of applied sports psychology. They have integrated brain science research, and cutting-edge sport and exercise technology. And they have sprinkled in real world examples that are part of the path for anyone who is on a champion’s journey. Perhaps best of all, Blanchard and Crews Ketterling have created a primer that will give anyone who is serious about their bowling practical tools for significantly upping their game. This is a fresh look at how we can get better at bowling, as well as most any other activity we want to improve!” - Dean R. Hinitz, Ph.D., Author, Bowling Psychology -

The 3rd book by USBC Gold Coach, Susie Minshew, The Chamber of Bowling Secrets offers a learning approach to the sport that is unique and delightful for players of all levels. Susie has an uncanny ability to make complex concepts seem simple and easy to understand through her communication skills and clever sense of humor. In each chapter of this new book, readers learn about Minshew’s Seven Secrets of Success, the No Matter What’s, the sometimes Silly Language of Bowling, a Secret Weapon Every Bowler Already Has, Bowling Myths that Challenge the Truth, and much, much more. PBA Champion, Jason Belmonte is a colleague and fan of Coach Minshew and wrote the Foreword for the new book. “I have known Coach Susie for more than a decade,” said Belmonte. “I've enjoyed our collaboration during clinics and have been astonished at some of the things she says. What I mean is I am astonished at the WAY she says things. She is clever and funny and has a way of getting you to see things differently. Susie explains mysteries, dispels myths, and shares lots of magic with you in The Chamber of Bowling Secrets." Team England Head Coach and USBC Gold Coach Andy Penny had this to say: “In her previous books, Susie has proven to be the Wizardess of jargon busting. This book is no different. She has used her magic dust to once again bring us an easy read and mixed a powerful potion to help us have fun while we are learning. This book is a great way to break the spell and unlock the mysteries of bowling. I can't wait to get it in the hands of my students.” In a recent interview, Minshew said, “I'm thrilled to release The Chamber of Bowling Secrets. I'm a huge Harry Potter fan and there are so many things in bowling that either are a Magic Wand or need one, I couldn't resist. The book is chock full of tips, secrets, and myth-busting that put the bowler in the fast lane to improvement.” -
Why did I leave the 10-pin on that shot?” “Why isn't my ball hitting the pocket anymore?” “Should I change balls, or move?” “How heavy should my ball be?” “What's the best bowling ball?” “How do I get more hook?” “Why do I keep missing my spares?” We are faced with endless questions, problems, and choices every time we bowl. Answers and solutions abound, but a great many of them are ineffective or just plain wrong. How do we know what to do? How do we know what to believe? In this book we examine: What doesn't work, and what most bowlers have wrong. What's really happening on the lanes, and how things really work. What you need to change to get back to striking. How to properly make that change. This is not a basic “how to bowl” book. It will benefit bowlers at all skill levels, from league and recreational play through PBA pros. Everything in this book is backed up with facts and science, not opinion. We teach you how to figure out exactly what's wrong with your shot. We show you all of the adjustments available to you, explain what each one actually does, and show you how and when to apply it. We give you strategies that will improve your lane play and your decision making. Finally, we teach you a mathematically sound spare system that will simplify your game and make picking up your spares an easy proposition. We give you all of the knowledge and tools you need to take your game to the next level and become the bowler you want to be. -

The Wrist Restrictor is an easy-to-use training aid that can be worn to restrict or enhance wrist rotation during the bowling release. Topping the ball, or over-rotating, at the point of release drastically affects the movement of the ball down lane. The Wrist Restrictor will help sync wrist and elbow through the release to correct over rotation. A backup ball release is a clockwise (RH) or counter clockwise (LH) rotation of the wrist which is opposite of a traditional hook. The Wrist Restrictor helps sync the movement of elbow and wrist limiting rotation and correcting back up ball release. Product includes 3 pcs: Glove, Forearm Band and Strap. Color: Black Sizes: SM/M, M/L, L/XL (sizes are universal for Left- and Right-hand) -
