"After missing 7 consecutive shows during a dismal 1st half of 2008-09, I worked with Mark for an hour. The 2nd half was one of the best stretches I have had on tour - making 7 out of 10 shows. After one of the TV losses, he helped me fix an error that has cost me many titles on shows. The next two weeks were wins! Only an 8 pin stopped Mark from helping me go from my worst season on tour to back-to-back Player of the Year Awards. Without hesitation, Mark is who I go to for help to win on the PBA Tour."

Chris Barnes - 2008 PBA Player of the Year

Hey Mark,

I just wanted to thank you once again for all you have done for me and my bowling game. Everything we worked on has helped and helped in a big way. I recently won the WCST La Habra event and I have you to thank for that and for my increased knowledge of the game. Having Will (Wilson) and Barry Asher (Champions Bowling and Embroidery) drilling my equipment, and you giving me instructions and corrections, I am off to a great start in 2011. Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks?

Thank You, Mark!

Mike Rausch

On July 28 2010 @ Westminster Lanes, I shot 256, 214, 300 - 770, MY FIRST 300 GAME!!!
Mark has been my coach for about six or seven years and during that time my knowledge of the swing, footwork, and release has expanded tenfold. The result is: I'm bowling better now at 54 than ever before in my life.

Thank You, Mark!

Mark,

My 26 year old daughter Keri attended your recent 2-day clinic here in Bakersfield. In the four weeks of league play following the clinic she's been "lights out". A career 140 average bowler, she shoots a 534 series (178 avg) Week 1, but struggled a little Week 2. Though only 4'11" and 105 pounds, her arm swing is so much easier that she felt comfortable enough to move up from a 13lb ball to a 14lb ball. Week 3 was fantastic again - a 539 series (179 avg). Tonight she shoots 187, 232, and 202 for a 621 series (her first 600)!
Up and down the house, the comments were the same... "Keri looks so much better after the Baker Clinic." Yeah, and she's knocking down a helluva lot more pins too!

Job well done, Bakes. Many thanks!

Diz Francisco

Mark,

I just wanted to let you know that I had a great time at the camp. It was an awesome experience and I'm really excited to see how everything carries over into my game this summer. I'm sure I'll keep you updated!

Your coaching definitely picked up on a few things that I never noticed. I always thought I had poor timing and it turned out that my timing is fine. You gave me a few things to work on to improve consistency and accuracy and the other coaches (Chris, Robin, and Kim) were able to give me many tips on how to achieve that. The camp helped boost my confidence a lot as well.

If you ever find your way to NY, be sure to get in touch with us!

Thanks again!

Just wanted to take a second and say what a really great time I had at camp. The knowledge I gained over the week was incredible. I definitely feel that I came away from camp a much better bowler, both in form and in bowling knowledge. I realize what a huge part of the game timing and consistency is, but also gained a ton of knowledge in regards to lane play and equipment. Since returning from camp I have bowled two league sessions. My first was a PBA experience league where I shot 196, 224, 214 and 232 on the Shark Pattern. The second league session was on a house pattern and I shot a 740 series. I really feel confident in my adjustments as the lane begins to break down. I can play so much further to the left than I have ever played, and I have the confidence to know that I can throw my ball out and, with the proper timing and form, get the ball back to the pocket.

I have told everyone that I know about the camp and what an invaluable experience it is to any bowler who is serious about their game and improving.
I would also like to schedule another coaching session. I have come away from camp with a new commitment to improving my game and a greater enthusiasm for the sport of bowling.

I wanted to let you know I am finding success on the lanes because of you and your camp. Immediately after attending the Fall 2009 camp I bowled my personal best game and series. Immediately after the Spring 2010 camp, I bowled in a PBA Regional and made it past qualifying, another personal best.

Both were accomplished with the help of you and your coaches, using Ebonite equipment, and remembering the principals taught at camp. My league average is going up, my scores are consistently higher, and I am doing well in local tournaments.

Thanks for all you have done.

I recently attended the May 2010 Camp Bakes and am contacting you regarding the experience. This was the 3rd camp I had attended since the camps inception. I also attended the camp in 2006 (the second camp held) and in 2008. The camp was extraordinary and each camp attended was a vast improvement over the previous camp. As a result of Mark's continued improvements of the camp, I plan on future attendance.
Mark Baker's obvious passion for bowling, his ability to articulate his thoughts to his students; to make everyone feel special, and his exemplary coaching style left me speechless. I really enjoyed his approach. He worked to improve the individual bowler's game based on current style and ability, versus trying to fit everyone into the same mold. Mark had a 'World Class' staff with him, and their ability to seamlessly work together was unprecedented.
My humble opinion may mean little to most when it comes down to the assessment of Mark Baker's teaching methods, but no one could argue with the closing statements made by Chris Barnes on the last day of camp. Chris said, "Mark is on the forefront of changing the game and coaching for the next decade." To hear Chris Barnes, who has immense talent and knowledge in the bowling arena, speak so highly of Mark Baker was astounding!
Thank you again,

Mark,

Our one-on-one lesson in late July or early August has proven to be amazing for my game. I don't even know where to really start.... For the last 10+ years in adult leagues, I've been consistently between the 204-208 mark. A typical "house" bowler, I am finishing up two leagues this year, and I am currently 218 in one league and 223 in another. Atop of the association average list most of the year, I have 23 - 700's this season to date. We recently completed our local city tourney a couple of weeks ago, where I earned 5 out of 8 titles: All-events Scratch (2243 - a new house record), All-events Handicap, Scratch Doubles, Scratch Team, and Handicap Team. I also recently took part in a local association tournament called The King of The Hill. The top 16 averages in the association compete head-to-head in a bracket style, double elimination format. I finished a respectful, but disappointed 2nd. All of this I owe to you. I've been in this sport for a long time, but have always lacked the knowledge that I gained from you!! I appreciate it, Mark. And, if anyone has the opportunity to work with you, it will do their game wonders!! I am living proof! Once again, Thanks, Mark!

Mark,

As you know, I recently attended your camp (Oct. 4-8, 2009). My last year book average was 195. Tommy Jones suggested I take the Ebonite Magic Touch and sand it with 2000 grit abralon. I followed his suggestion.

Tonight (Oct. 12th) I shot 247-247-290 for 784 on a house shot with the Magic Touch. 290 is my highest game and 784 is my highest series. I would say camp paid off! Thanks for the help from you and your coaches.

Greg Blevins (Oct. 2009)

"On Sunday August 30, I had my league sweeper. I have a 161 average and have never shot a 600 series before. Well, on Sunday I bowled a 189, 225, and a 201 for a 615 series. The 225 game was clean and the 201 would have been clean and higher if I hadn't missed a sleeper. The 225 was my first clean game ever. In the first game I had 3 splits, but the rest of the frames were clean. The lesson you gave me really helped my game, so I thank you again."

Eric Taylor

"I've been working with Mark for three months now and started bowling 6 months ago. I'm currently in third place at the USBC California State Tournament out of roughly 5,000 bowlers. I've bowled a 299, 279, 267 in the last three weeks. I've averaged 225 in league for the last month. YOU ARE THE MAN, MARK! Thanks so much!"

Shawn Tamjidi (July 2009)

Mark ,

I wanted to say thank you for the lessons and your help at the Fountain Bowl clinic on Saturday. I started nine months ago and I have set some personal milestones for myself. (My Winter book average was 180 in 2005, 174 in 2006, 188 in 2007, and 175 in 2008). For my 2009 Winter League, I finished at 194.

MILESTONES:

I have never bowled a series of three 200+ games until 2009. Now, if I don't bowl all 200 games, I am upset with myself.
If I had bowled two or three 600 series in a Winter League, it was a big deal. I have now bowled over seven 600 series in a third of the Summer League.
268 was my best game in league until last week, when I bowled a 288 game.
I bowled my first 700+ series in 2009 (712). On 5/7/09, I bowled a 728 and on 5/14/09, I bowled a 767.

Again, thank you Mark (and Barry)

Mark,

I just wanted to thank you for your time and giving me the opportunity to become a better bowler. In 50 years of bowling I have never seen my ball with so much life and power with just one change in my game. The power hitting the pocket was awesome. Looking forward to the next session.

"I have been associated with Mark Baker since 2005. His knowledge of bowling has been a great asset to me and his ability to communicate to all levels of bowlers is outstanding...He is able to extend his knowledge in a manner that is easily understood by all levels of bowlers...Some of my achievements since working with Mark are:"

Bowling average improved 10-15 pins
Two 300 Games
Two Senior Tournament Victories

Joe Colley - Santee, CA

I believe the best compliment a fellow bowler can give you is when he says to you, "Wow! you're really bowling great." or "You've really improved."

When they ask how it came about, I say, "Easy. I have been working on my game with Mark Baker."

Since work ing with Mark, these are some of the great things to happen:

3rd place finish and "300" in a PBA Regional
Several WCST finals and a title
Several SST finals and a title
3rd place finish in the Don Glover Masters
1st place and undefeated in the Santa Barbara Masters

If you are willing to put the time in to improving your bowling game, Mark is willing to provide his time.

There is only one full-time bowling coach and teacher in the Southern California area to work with, and that is Mark Baker.
