This DVD was well done, but mistitled. It starts with the three types of grips, and that if you are a serious bowler, you may want to get your own shoes. It doesn't get any more basic than that. There was NO discussion of throwing a strike ball, Lane reading or lane breakdown. No mention of adjustments, ball selection, or proper angle to the pocket. I would only recommend this DVD to very young or new bowlers that have no clue about the game.
