Create The Best Approach To Maximise Your Bowling Potential
Personal Coaching
Personal Coaching is the best way of improving your game significantly. My long and extensive history of working with bowlers of all abilities and ages ensures that you will get the best possible help to achieve your bowling ambitions.
I have a proven expertise in teaching the one-handed (thumb in) technique and am a leading practitioner in the modern two-handed (thumb out) technique, so whatever style you prefer and whichever hand you use, you will receive world-class tuition, support and guidance.
How to Improve
My recommendation for most people is to have a lesson at least every 2 weeks in 2-hour sessions. Longer sessions are available for those who might be travelling further to visit me, or less regularly.
Physical game training is what most people want to work on the most but you also need to learn about the non-physical game aspects of our sport such as;
Lane Patterns & Pattern Breakdown
Topography
Bowling Balls
Ball Motion Creation and Management
Thought Processes and Decision-making
Sparing Methods
Tournament Preparation
Practice Routines
Hours
Bowlers
Years
Visualise your improvement
I use technology wherever possible to compliment my well-trained eyes. Being able to see your movements and positions in slow motion or in more detail is crucial the better you get.
My goal is always to enhance your technique to a place where the flaws are minimal (or erased) and are aligned with the level you wish to compete at.
I use DartFish Motion Analysis software to record individual shots or even whole lessons. It allows me to focus on any aspect of your technique, measure body positions, distance, times, and angles. I can compare two shots alongside one another, record voice notes, and share to your WhatsApp or email.
Manifest Success
By focusing your thoughts, using affirmations, and visualizing, you can attract the outcomes you want. Manifesting isn’t just wishful thinking—it’s about aligning your mindset with consistent, inspired actions that train your brain to recognize and grab opportunities to turn goals into reality. Together, we’ll make your dreams feel like they’re already yours as we train, learn, visualize, believe, grow, achieve, and keep moving forward.
The Price of Success
I offer two different ways of purchasing your lessons. Either Pay-as-you-go, or in a Package.

Adult PAYG lessons range from £37.50-£55.00 per hour.
Youth PAYG lessons range from £27.50-£45.00 per hour.
Package Hours are perfect for those who want regular lessons and want the cheapest hourly rates.

Other Locations
I am happy to discuss visiting literally any location inside or outside of England either as a one-off, or as a regular booking. Thursdays are currently available for a regular weekly or fortnightly visit.
Weekends are usually reserved for EBF Courses, Coaching Clinics, and Tournaments, so there is less availability for weekly or fortnightly coaching, so please get in touch to discuss your exact requirements.
Want more information on Individual Coaching
Group Coaching
As an alternative to individual coaching why not organise a Group Session.
They are suitable for 2-8 people and can be for one to two hours in length, for weekly or fortnightly sessions.
If you want a less regular or one-off session see the options listed below or get in touch to discuss your specific requirements, wherever you are based.
Current Sessions
Venue | Group | Times | Who can attend | Spots |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Barnsley Bowl | Barnsley Grenades YBC | 5pm-7pm fortnightly | Barnsley Grenades YBC Members | 8 |
Options
Group Session Prices are for my time and expertise. Please factor in lane hire costs on the basis of a maximum of 3 people per lane. If you wish to organise a regular or one-off session for a group larger than 8 people I will need to recruit one or more coaches and this will affect the price. Please get in touch to discuss your exact requirements.

Virtual Coaching
Cant get to me for in-person lessons?
Then my Virtual Coaching Program is the perfect alternative.
To begin with I will carry out an Initial Assessment of your physical technique and ask you about your goals and reasons for improving. You will send me some videos and complete a short questionnaire.
I use video motion analysis to focus on your swing, footwork, body angles, timing aspects and release method and will share my thought with you. I will also provide you with some exercises to concentrate on until your first Progress Evaluation
Progress Evaluation
Subsequently my Progress Evaluation provides you with the on-going support and guidance to improve various elements of your physical technique over a longer timescale.
An Evaluation includes:
Analysis of up to 4 videos
Report based on the analysis providing you with a plan to work on (including timescales)
One follow-up call (15 minutes) to clarify your understanding of the analysis, report and plan if needed.
Choose from the Progress Evaluation package options below.
Number of Evaluations | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Price | £50.00 | £95.00 | £135.00 | £170.00 | £200.00 | £225.00 |

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I record my videos?
from behind: the video taker is positioned behind the bowler in line with the direction of the approach. The camera should be in portrait mode and held at a height that ensures all of the bowler (and ball during the whole swing) remains in view. Do not zoom in on the bowler as they approach the foul line and keep the camera as stable as possible.
from the side: film the bowler on the side of the ball, and ensure the whole approach is captured, from stance position to release of the ball. The video taker should be 2 lanes away and close to the foul line. Orient the camera into landscape mode (horizontally) panning as the bowler moves up the approach, stopping the panning after the ball has released. Do not pan to follow the ball down the lane.
video format: please film at 720HD at 30 fps. Please do not film in higher frame rates or in 4k. DO NOT FILM IN SLOW MOTION.
How do I send my videos to you?
The best way to send me videos is via WhatsApp (+447497820461) or email (mh900bowling@gmail.com). When emailing video please send one video per email and ZIP the file to compress it. Where necessary please trim the video.
Are Lane Fees included in the prices?
No. Unless specifically mentioned, lane fees and lane oiling costs are the responsibility of the customer.
Who will book the lane(S) for the lesson / group session?
Customers are required to book your lane time directly with the centre, and ensure payment is made before the start of your lesson.
Can I pay in cash?
I do accept cash but only in advance of your next lesson or lessons. Without exception, your first lesson must be paid for in advance.
I need to cancel my lesson?
I understand that life can change at short notice so please rest assured that as long as you provide at least 24 hours notice you can re-schedule your lesson free of charge. If you give less than 24 hours notice of cancellation I reserve the right not to allow a re-scheduling of the lesson and will not provide a refund.
Can I have a refund, I've changed my mind?
As a general rule I will not issue a refund under any circumstances. You may reschedule lessons - when more than 24 hours notice is provided - or transfer the booking to another person if I agree. I will provide a refund in full (less any reasonable administration costs, or other costs incurred up to the point of cancelation) if you change your mind, at least 24 hours prior to your first ever booking with me. With less than 24 hours notice I reserve the right not to allow a re-scheduling of the booking and will not provide a refund.
