Great idea!

[alex]

I sure could use the help.

[sdbowler]

Of all the other forums I never would have thought about putting a coaching one in here. That's a great idea Jeff.

while i think it is an excellent idea i would have to throw out the flippant answer that first came to my mind when thinking of below question: "coaching, nah some of us know it all already...."

Jeff i am willing too coach you for a fee???

I can mess up your timing, mental and physical game all in one shot. I can have you chucking the ball as bad as me in no time at all, but of course all this is only available for a fee. Let me know if you need to the help as that is why i am here

quote:Sounds like a great idea! However, it would need to have "something" in addition to or better than all the existing coaching/guidance/tips/videos already on the internet.

Numerous sites provide bowling guidance, information and suggestions from a group of great coaches.

The best coaching comes from one on one coaching while on the lanes. That means you (the bowler) must have the coach right on the lane with you, analyzing the video right after you bowl, pointing out what you should be doing and helping you do it.

I don't know how that can be accomplished via Ballreviews.com.

I agree completely.
And also wonder how it can be accomplishedon line.

I think it would be a good thing too.. It is some what difficult when not having the person right next to you, but I've got some good solid things to look at from here off my vids..I think it could work..

I'd say make the forum, it'll only add to the ongoing joke that this site has become.

p.s. We all at the top of this sport are laughing at you.  We are.

As much as sitting at the top and laughing at everyone is good for the continued growth in the interest of the sport through new bowlers, maybe it would be nice if some of the bowling geniuses could come in and answer some questions every now and then.  I guess that's the point of the proposed coaching forum.

Okay, now that we've heard from our sponsor, the Anger Management Alliance, let's get back to our regularly scheduled programming...

...yes, Jeff, I'd be interested. I no longer have access to much coaching where I live now and would welcome the wisdom of someone who knows what they're talking about.

You could have regular posters posting up articles on whatever they feel like at the time.  This could then be searched and archived...  It's also a good opportunity for some regulars to help out with all the questions people have without having to sift through the other stuff.

If you are the one giving the coaching I'd like it lol. But I do like the idea.

Well, I guess I'll be the 1st one to say, although it isn't possible, to coach someone without seeing visibly what the bowler might need to fix, it really would be in the best interest of all involved to be on the approach at the same time as the bowler.

But Jeff you bring up a great thought.

I hope your rehab is going as good as could be expected, and heal fast

Who needs coaching when I can just go and buy the most expensive, biggest hooking, 300 game in a box ball and just toss it right and watch it come back and shatter the pins.

Wait a second. I just looked down at my BARE fingers typing this post....count me in Jeff.
