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.

I offer two different ways of purchasing your lessons. Either Pay-as-you-go, or in a Package.

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.

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.
