Just got back last night from a small field trip to Kegel Training & Tournament Center in Lake Wales, FL. About a dozen of us from the Youth Bowling League at AMF Pembroke Pines where I coach traveled up there Friday a day and a half training session with the instructors there. Each lane has sensors at five points down the lane that measure ball speed, rotation, and position, so after each ball thrown you see numerically what the ball did along with a line chart; and then after ten balls you can get a printout showing how consistant (or in-) you are. Saturday focused on one-on-one sessions with an instructor which utilized video cameras. Unbelievable learning experience, not for the dozen of us there (coaches and kids) but also changed my mythodology and approach to bowling and coaching. For years, everyone was told “Keep your body upright and shoulders square to the target.” Gone is that thinking. If I can get a clip from the DVD that was to us with my individual training session, I will post it somewhere. Probably right next to the David Hasselhoff “Hooked on a Feeling” video I got from youtube.
