Bowling lessons in Greenfield, Indiana

Lessons are at Strike Force, not a rented pair downtown

I coach at Strike Force Lanes, 1539 W Main St, Greenfield, IN 46140. That is the west side of town on Main Street (US-40), a few minutes from I-70 exit 104. If you live in Greenfield, New Palestine, Fortville, McCordsville, Cumberland, or Shirley, you are already in the driveway.

I also run this center, so I know the house shot, the sport patterns we put out, and what the leagues actually play. That matters more than a coach who drives in once a week and has never seen your Tuesday pair.

Who drives in from where

• Greenfield and Hancock County: this is the home house. Youth league, high school, adult league, first-timers.
• New Palestine and Cumberland: straight shot on US-40 or the county roads. Parents of high school bowlers do this drive every week anyway.
• Fortville and McCordsville: south on Mount Comfort or Indiana 9, then west on Main.
• East Indianapolis and Lawrence: I-70 east to 104, or US-40 the whole way. I wrote a separate page for Indianapolis lessons if you are starting from inside 465.

Carmel and Fishers people come too. That drive is longer. If the calendar and the commute fight each other, send video and we still work.

What we work on here

The same list as the homepage, on these lanes: fundamentals, lane play, grip, arsenal, tournament prep, oil patterns, and the mental side. Youth and high school bowlers have their own page at youth lessons in Greenfield. League adults who want the average to move should start at league average work.

If you have never taken a lesson, read what the first hour looks like so you know you do not need your own ball on day one.

Why people still drive past other coaches

I am not the only person in central Indiana who can teach a 4-step approach. I am the one who won the PBA Long Island Open in 2001 and the Scorpion Championship at the first World Series of Bowling in 2009, then spent 21 years on Tour. If you want USBC certification as the filter, that is a fair filter and it is not me. If you want someone who has thrown for a living on the patterns your kid will see at Jr Gold, that is this lane.

I compared that difference, without talking around it, on PBA champion coaching vs USBC silver.

  Strike Force Lanes, 1539 W Main St. Book on this site or text (702) 701-1494.

  No. Any youth or adult is welcome. The youth page is just for parents who searched that way.

  Text first. I am in the building a lot, but an open time on the calendar is how we keep two people off the same pair.
