Shift Bowl Technique

Shift Bowl Technique as taught by Mo Pinel.

Shift Bowl Technique

Bowling is at least a 5 count event, even if you take four steps. Overcoming inertia is almost impossible if you try to use four counts. The shift/bowl technique is actually a five step approach with a preset first step . How's that? After trying to teach four step bowlers five steps to help them get started better for years, I discovered how easy it was to teach shift/bowl to a four step bowler. It never takes more than five minutes to teach it. They don't even know they're taking five steps. They get better quickly while they're using shift/bowl. It proves that the hand is still quick than the eye, so to speak. ......Mo Pinel
