    Shot 246, and 244.

    Had a possible 258 going into the 10th frame, but 0, then 8 dropped it to 214.
    Nice shooting. too bad about the last game, lane problems are rarely fun.

    Well today was the day for my lesson with Mark Baker.

    What an eye opener! As many of you know I have worked with several coaches over the past few years. I sorta quit coaching as I felt we were hashing over the same old thing every time and I wasn't progressing the way I wanted to. Thus, the reason for wanting to work with Mark while on vacation.

    What I had been told many times over....timing is off, slow your feet, start the ball earlier, etc. all boiled down to keep moving your feet and keeping my head up and back - in alignment with my knee.

    Mark is an excellent instructor and explains things very well....also, seeing it on video makes a big difference as well. I would recommend anyone who gets the chance to expend the extra money to experience this level of coaching.

    Sounds awesome!

    I wish there was a coach willing to go into that amount of detail around me. Haven't found one yet.

    I think that will be a good move for Mark and 900 Global. I see where the October CampBakes will be 900 Global.

    We don't normally, but my husband put a tonneau cover on the pickup so we could travel with more stuff. Couldn't resist the opportunity to spend an hour with Mark. Now I can't wait til I can get back on the lanes, but it will probably not be until Tues league.
