The story of Allie Brandt epitomizes practically everything I know to be true about bowling. To begin with, it is obvious that if the game required brawn and muscle, no little man could ever hope to succeed at it. If it demanded a "powerhouse" ball that practically drove the pins through the back wall, weight lifters and wrestlers would completely dominate the sport. The little man from But even Brandt has no monopoly on the laurels of the small competitor in bowling. Outstanding performers like Hank Marino, Tony Sparando, Ray Schanen and many others, all of whose deeds are legend, are positive proof that control and consistency breed topnotch performance. In order to acquire control, footwork is most important. The bowler must practice—and practice some more—to perfect the rhythm of his steps so that he can put his feet in practically the same identical place every time—even if he is blindfolded. Now, placing the feet in the same spot time after time cannot be accomplished overnight. Don't expect it to be. Practice your run to the foul line whenever you happen to have a few minutes of spare time. Practice in front of a mirror whenever possible, and practice with all the concentration you possess. Footwork, of course, is timed with the movements of the body and right arm to produce a smooth swing. The more correct your footwork and the more smoothly your body and arm move in relation to it, the more effortless and effective will be your swing. Accuracy comes naturally when your delivery slips into this grooved state. You can bowl well and you can bowl for long periods of time without tiring, for you are repeating the same process until it becomes almost second nature. Allie Brandt of Lockport, New York, holder of the world's record high series in sanctioned competition, a set of 886. Games were 297, 289 and 300. He weighs only 122 pounds.
