My virtual bowling lesson with Mark Baker

I decided to upload my lesson here so maybe it could inspire at least one of you to work harder on your physical game :)

Remember, it is always work in process.

Sending you many strikes!

Thank you for being here !

🎳 About me
I bowl for a living :)

[treau]

I bowl in league and have two teammates that don't practice and don't bowl summer. They show up and consistently average 195 to 210. I on the other hand don't bowl for a week and I fall apart. It takes me weeks when I don't bowl the summer to get back to bowling well. Then it takes the whole year to get my average back up. The good news is I help the team each week as I get better. Watching this video really helped me put my game into prospective. I am older and have been bowling for a long time. Thanks for sharing, Today I will be heading out to practice :) I will try a few of these concepts. Thanks for sharing, stay safe and take care.

What a great coach! Any coach in any sport could benefit from seeing this lesson. The minute, detailed breakdown of the smallest elements of Daria's swing is exactly how to teach physical techniques to any athlete. Great job coach Baker.

I am a positive person and I know you can do it. Mark really goes into detail and that's what I like.I like Mark because he tells you how to improve and what steps to take to get you where you want to be. 2023 is going to be a fantastic year for you

[geoffnash]

mark baker is the best coach in the country such a great eye for picking out details good luck daria you know iam rooting for you

[chungrigby]

He was so informative. I want to use his advice on my game. I am a 70 year old two handed bowler. Never too old to improve. Love watching you bowl and promote it to other countries. You have so many more years to enjoy bowling. Good luck to you.

I went for some friendly, casual bowling on Monday with a couple friends after a few years of not bowling. I was surprised my ball still fit my hand perfectly. The first game was horrible for me so I thought back to this video and put some of what I learned from it to good use. As soon as I focused on keeping my body and head straight, I immediately started getting strikes, and I started to have a new sensation to my approach and release that felt...good. Just smooth, fluid, and complete. I never got that feeling before even when I used to bowl all the time and averaged 180-200. It felt...addictive.

Thanks for sharing this video. It was very helpful.

This is amazing! Thanks for being so vulnerable and sharing. I learned so much. I enjoy following your career. Keep throwing the heat 🤘🏼

I make those exact same mistakes, only without the rev rate. I also make other mistakes. I've heard Mark analyze before, and greatly respect his observations. Bowling is one of the most challenging sports - improvement is not simply a matter of what we're doing "wrong". It's more correctly about "why" we are seeing the issues we have. Why is my spine tilt inconsistent? Why do I pull down from the top? Why am I off balance? Why are my ball and I both lying in the gutter? Thanks for sharing; thanks for the link to Mark. As I've said before, many people are very self-conscious about their bowling issues/shortcomings. Why? Anybody can see what's happening. But people take everything personally, and get their feelings hurt. You are very transparent and honest, even with all of us strangers on YT. I really appreciated your spare series, which I haven't seen anyone else dare to post. You bowled bold. Embrace your greatness with confidence!

This was the most informative instructional video I've ever seen. The things Mark pointed out are subtle but can make a huge difference in your shot results. Kudos to Marks expert eye and to Daria's amazing game.

Hi Daria, a couple of things.
1. Back in your rookie season, I saw you, Verity, and Diana bowl live during the Richmond championship. I was so in awe by all of 3 of your techniques that I recorded it, flipped it (I'm a lefty), and studied it.

2. There's another video out there where you're bowling in slow motion. I go back to that and compare my bowling videos against it.

You are so polished and efficient, there's no way that anyone who knows bowling would or could criticize your bowling technique. The so much flow there. I love that you keep pursuing the perfect game.

Hopefully, I can bowl as well and as beautifully as you. I'm thinking of having a Mark Baker session myself.

Thanks for sharing this!

Leave it to Mark Baker to break it down in nice understandable way. That was great to show how the swing is everything in the timing. I never realized about the effect on spine tilt but I am just a average league bowler. Hope we can see bowling open up in the country and especially California. I hope Fountain Bowl remains in business but realize that may not happen.

[xcombatmike]

Thanks for being so honest Daria you are my fav lady on the PBA tour! I just got back into bowling and it’s been rough to say the least. I feel plagued by inconsistency. So I appreciate your humility in sharing your training videos and that’s why you and tang are my favorite pros.

[knine]

I also am very pleased to see Daria's lateral spine tilt.

[tobycundell]

Thank you for sharing Daria! Really good stuff from Mark. I had the pleasure of getting to do a camp Bakes in Oregon last year. Excellent analysis from an excellent coach!

You have nothing to be self conscious about! I know it's tough sometimes opening up and being vulnerable but its how we get better. I have always thought you have one of the best physical games out there. Fully agree with Mark, you add some more of Liz's deadeye accuracy to your power game, whoa you are going to be a force to be reckoned with on tour.

Love your passion for the game and your relentless drive to get better! Watching you work keeps me inspired to take my work to anther level.

Take care Daria, hope you see you back competing in the states soon. And maybe to actually get to see you bowl in person.

[willysteiner]

Dear Daria
You have one of the most beautiful physical game in the sport of Bowling. You don’t have to worry. Every knowledgeable Bowling Expert will agree with me. Good luck and hope you win a lot.

[dharvell]

The timing of me finding this particular video is perfect. I've been hitting a brick wall with my game, but I couldn't figure out the exact issue, for the life of me. I'm hoping the information in this video will help me get back on track. After watching the video and thinking back to my last practice session, there is a lot of information that I can use to help improve my game. Thank you for sharing!

[chuckcalkins]

Thanks for sharing this Daria. Keep up the great work. Hope to see you soon because I love to watch you bowl

[iBMW]

This was helpful. The push away is everything.

[joshhammonds]

Bakes is great! I’ve had two virtual lessons myself and after my second lesson, I rolled 697 700 and 693 in leagues! I started around 170s in both leagues and now I’m at 204 in one and 195 in the other.

If you feel like you are struggling, Bakes will have the answer!

[ryanparli]

You have the best channel! I recently just started bowling on a league and used to be kinda good when I was younger. You are amazing. Keep making videos because you inspire greatness!!!
