Bryant on Bowls

London: Cassel, 1966 From the dustjacket flap: David Bryant exemplifies the vigorous, youthful movement that has transformed world bowls over the past ten years or so. His constructive and imaginative approach has already won him the highest honours in the game, and he is still only in his early thirties! Bowls today has a wider - and younger - public than ever before, particularly in Britain, Australia, and other Commonwealth countries, and it is for this new generation of enthusiasts that David Bryant has described his original and successful methods in this book. His hints and observations, based on detailed theoretical analysis as well as on his years of tournament play, can be commended to any player who takes himself seriously enough to want to improve his game. The Bryant method encourages experiment and imagination, if necessary at the expense of the old 'unwritten rules' followed by other experts. He himself has always been an intrepid experimenter (even to the extent of playing left handed), and some of these flights of fancy have, as he admits, been disastrous. But even disaster can instruct, and very often the results have been successful. Thus he has perfected a grip and delivery which follow none of the orthodox types, but are expressly tailor-made for his own comfort. From the elementary step of selecting a set of woods to the most advanced point of tactics he always has something new and challenging to suggest. The author believes that every bowler has it in him to be much better than he is, and in this book he hopes to bring out this latent potential. His methods are simple, painless and comprehensive readers of this book will suddenly find the game far easier than they suspect. ------------------------ 150 pages, b/w photographs, index.
