Hank the Ball Driller

Meet the author

Hank the Ball Driller

I've spent 40 years behind the counter of a small ball shop in Ohio, drilling and fitting bowling balls for league bowlers.

Most men over 60 who walk in blame their arm. Usually it's the ball: too heavy, a thumb hole that pinches, a cover that went dead years ago.

These three books are what I'd tell you across the counter. Plain talk, real numbers, no sales pitch.

Right after payment you get an email with your access link. Download the PDF and it's yours to keep. Nothing is shipped, and there's nothing to wait for.

Yes. It opens on any phone, tablet or computer. You can zoom the text as large as you like, or print it at home and keep it in your bag.
