- I got virtual lessons from Mark Baker and i review my progression through the weeks and sent back my follow up lesson.
Mark clearly has his finger on the pulse of the physical game. It's impressive he was able to break down my game so accurately from a few videos.

Honestly this is a refreshing take seeing a bowler taking training seriously. Analyzing the problem and breaking down the pain points one by one.
Absolutely love mark bakerjust watching his videos from the clean up crew has made changes to my game my next step is buying the video the game has changed then gonna do some virtual lessons hea a genius and congratulations on the improvements glad to see someone taking coaching and training seriously
Well, I'm convinced. Been seeing a lot of Mark over the past couple months and seems like an excellent investment for the summer.
Def worth it
I made that $150 back plus some from high game pots / strike pots / league standings.
@@TheBowlingNerdso did the $150 cover the second review from baker too?
@@CanesCF yup 👍
6 week mark is so much better!! fun to watch, feeling inspired.
I think it's useful to think about why that 2nd step is so big as well. The ball ends up getting pushed so far away from you in your push away and your wrist is already broken back from the start. If the ball is so far away from your body at the beginning, it's gonna make you want to take a bigger step so your right leg can catch up and catch the weight of the ball. Combine that with the broken wrist at the beginning, and it can feel like you're being pulled forward with the ball rather than the ball just swinging comfortably. It'll also probably be easier to be underneath the ball at release if you don't immediately put your wrist in a weaker position at the very beginning of your swing.
Don't feel too pressured to implement anything that I post though. Too many cooks in the kitchen is confusing, and too many coaches telling you a bunch of different stuff is confusing as well. This is just similar to what I used to do and struggled with a lot, the backswing getting super tall, a very weak wrist position at release, a big 2nd step, a super exaggerated crossover... I'm getting flashbacks hearing all this stuff lol
you're good man, I appreciate the thought process on that.
Ultimately, I think it's about controlling your center of gravity.
The big 2nd step felt like it was getting too far away from me, so I had to chase it a bit.
Bro looking good after 6 weeks. I went to camp bakes later year and he definitely helped me a ton. I might try kegal in a few weeks in Florida. I'm nervous about the drills. I'm not a fan of drills and I'm nervous they'll knit pick my form and style. I average 210 but I have physical fundamentals from progressing.
When i went there, it was like 10 years ago.
It was a great experience but my only complaint is that they didn't agree with Mark Baker's timing spot. Which i specifically asked about. Then they describe my form as having all the elements of perfect timing.
As for the drills, some can certainly help. But for me, one step and foul line drills didnt get me much benefit. Since all those other steps were in the way.
I don't like crossover steps, either, and I'm relieved to hear someone else say it out loud. 😁
really helpful, thanks
Great video! So much to learn here. Thanks for sharing! Subscribed
Love this. I hope it helps me as well. Thanks or sharing
Best breakdown I've seen and steps taken to improve form. Any possibility doing one with a two hander?
Thanks, I appreciate that
I’m open to doing that, I would need to find a 2 hander in my area that wants to try this.
Thanks for sharing. Just now getting back into things and want to approach from a more technical standpoint. Definitely leaning toward the Baker video adjustments, but feel like I still need to work some kinks out on my own before that. Is it just 2 video calls or are there more?
For the $150 package I did, yeah it’s 2 video reviews. Not a call. He’ll privately upload it to TH-cam and send you the direct link in your email.
There’s a little bit more than what I shared in my vid but I was trying to capture the highlights.
Follow ups are $60, I plan to do some before fall.
Thanks for sharing! How would I get in touch with the instructor?
Added the link to his website in the description.
Baker kept mentioning many times a couple of your steps are too long.. so why haven't you moved up on the approach to shorten them? that to me is the easiest solution?
I ended up doing that towards the end, if i had to do this again... i probably would have like week 2 or something.
Funny story, i went to CTD to see what their coaching is like. He gave me that same advice.
@@TheBowlingNerd it just makes sense, shorter approach and then maybe your arm swing will come down to because it doesn’t really need to be that high at all
Do I need to even move my right foot in front of my left at all during the approach? Should I just walk straight with my right foot.
It's hard to say without having seen you throw a shot.
The idea of the cross step is to create space for the ball to pass by in the front part of your swing.
For my lesson with Bakes, he used Kris Prather as the example. His cross step is perfect.
How did you get him to give you a video analysis?
You can request virtual lessons are on his website.
Did you measure rev rate before and after to see if there was actually an improvement?
Ngl, it didn’t change as much as I expected like
~320 to ~380
But the level of effort is wayyyy easier now.
@@TheBowlingNerd I was veryyy doubtful when I saw the video. Wish you put the rev measures in the video.
I appreciate the feedback, I’ll be sure to add it next time I do this style of video. 🙏
If you want to get under the ball, then don’t have such a high backswing
Totally fair to say, it's been high for yearsssss lol
It was vertical at one point, so this is lower for me lmao
@@TheBowlingNerd- Interesting & thanks for sharing. I’d be interested in if the high backswing was intentional & what you thought you’d accomplish with that ? No expert, just curious.
@@stevekeller3643 uhhh it’s something I developed the first year I was bowling in junior league. Trying to mimic some of the older bowlers. Then every time I tried to lower it. My timing got out of whack and couldn’t hit a target.
But I do agree that it’s inefficient to have it as high as it currently is.
