How To Attack Your House Shot
Posted Oct 1, 2012 In: Bowling Tips | Coach's Corner | TipsWell the 2012-2013 season has started for most everyone by now, so with that being said, back to attacking our THS (typical house shot).

The question really is, how do you go about making practice worth your while. Do you go to the lanes just to bowl a few games and call that practice? Or do you have some sort of method behind your schemes. I will take you through a few drills that I like to run...
