Synopsis This is a DVD with a difference. Utilising the same technology used by the world's top golfers to analyse their swings, much of the DVD concentrates on analysing bowls deliveries from a biomechanical viewpoint. The initiative of two leading professional advanced bowls coaches, Jim Hart and Brian Warren, it provides a showcase for their newly established company HEH Sports Coaching Ltd that has been set up to work exclusively in the field of sports coaching. Among the company's philosophies is the practice of 'non-prescriptive' coaching as opposed to 'prescriptive' coaching and this is evident in the DVD through the absence of any coach/pupil scenarios.

The DVD comprises six sections:

  • Introduction
    Shows the delivery style of several leading and club bowlers
  • Best Practice
    Uses sophisticated technology to analyse the biomechanics of a number of deliveries from top bowlers
  • Champions Styles
    Compares the delivery styles of top bowlers
  • Bowls for Beginners
    Basic introduction using stills and moving graphics
  • Review
    Includes self-test questions and acknowledgements
  • Electronic Coaching
    Explains how the company can provide a DVD analysis of your delivery, with voice over, from your own footage
