    Do a 1/2 hour lesson with Mark for 20 measly bucks!! I guarantee you will see improvement!!!
    Yeah, he's a really nice guy…but he seems like his mold is better suited for drier conditions and wood lanes. And he's not one for changing or re-inventing his game to compensate.

    I might do the lesson with Mark one of these days…like Rob, he's a "teacher's teacher"…not just a high average bowler that "also teaches".

    My only concern with Mark is…I like to explain where I started, what I've done thus far, where I'm struggling. In my few interactions with him at the clinics, which were limited, he seems like he might not want to "listen". Like I said in my other post, sometimes guys like Mark…former PBA stars…it's kind of intimidating dealing with them.

    But, we'll see. It's also kinda silly to "not" take advantage of a lesson with the great Mark Baker when he's so close. A lot of bowlers don't have the opportunity.

    I don't know Mark -- he might be a really great guy -- but I have dealt with celebrities before. They're human beings -- they put on their pants one leg at a time like the rest of us. sometimes, they can be real a-holes, though, and that poor attitude can totally eclipse the "shine" of the star. If Mark's such an Unfortunate, it might not be worth your time and $$$, just because he's a "star." There are, musically, a few "stars" I'd refuse to work with, just because they're such jerks. HOWEVER, if he's a great guy, you'd be foolish not to hook up.

    That was during a $10 clinic with a butt load of other people to help so it's understandable. The private lessons are different. I don't get that celebrity thing with Mark.

    That's my thinking but if Mark doesn't click with you as a coach that's cool. I've had a few music teachers and tennis coaches that when they said something it made total sense. Others not so much.

    Again, I think Rob has definitely got you going in the right direction. Keep up the good work!!
