Meet Ron Clifton
The owner of 


Ron Clifton has been a top bowling coach for the last 15 years. He has a
special gift for teaching the physics of bowling in “easy-to-understand” terms and has a “unique eye” for spotting and correcting flaws.

Ron is well known across the United States and other countries for his unique training techniques. These techniques enable bowlers to actually "perform" the
things that they have learned.

For example, bowlers  often know they need to make a change in their release;
perhaps even instructed on how to do so by another coach. 
Ron knows how to teach the bowler to actually "perform" the release within their ability.

Many sessions with great coaches fail to produce long term results because
the "old bad habits" return to the bowler a week after the lesson.
Ron teaches the bowler how to retain the ability to perform newly learned skills after a lesson is but a distant memory.

Ron has worked with PBA national title holders, top professional men and women in the PBA and PWBA regional programs, collegiate bowlers and World Team Challenge champions but the majority of bowlers Ron has had the pleasure to help are bowlers like you.

Ron will be writing bowling tips for Bowl 4 fun as often as he can find time. You never know when he will post a new tip so check back often for updates. He will rate each tip for the bowlers average he feels will benefit most. The ratings ( shown above ) represent “180 and below” “180 and above” and “All averages”.  It’s a good idea to read all the tips, but if you are  below the 180 average mark and you don’t understand the tip, just save it. As your game improves you may understand it later. It is also not a bad idea for the higher average players to read the below 180 tips. You never know when you have forgotten a basic. All the tips will be put in the archive for you to review incase you miss an update.
