I attended this seminar in Sheboygan Falls, WI today and all I can say for those that thought about it in the Milwaukee, Green Bay, Chicago and Madison areas.......you should have!

What I got was a real good break down with Steve on my grip analysis. Steve overall found my grip and fit relatively good. I go to a great driller in my area and he shortened me last year with less reverse. He did find an area which could use some attention more transition area in my bevel. He did this to a Mercury and I could feel a big difference in how I come out of the ball.

Then, I got on the lane with Hank Boomershine - President, Roto Grip who worked with me and found my timing to late. A common malady for a lot of players but when you hear it from a reknowned instructor who knows his stuff it sinks in. Funny, I had been told the same thing from Fred Borden in the early 90''s. Same issue. After doing some video before and after from the back and side I can see and feel the difference of the changes. After the changes my swing is a lot more free and correlates to more ball speed an issue for me for years. Hank said I''ll probably be able to use more powerful equipment than I have in the past. I concur. As always changes in timing will take time but I am dedicated to changing so it''s a work in progress.

I drove 2 hours from Madison but the effort and time was negligible compared to what I gained. Instead of spending countless dollars on equipment I encourage any bowler to attend a 5 Point To Better Bowling Seminar if they are offered in your area or attend one with Steve when he runs it again.

Thanks Steve Richter for all the help!
