BESPOKE ONLINE FAST BOWLING COACHING

All three tiers use the same PaceLab system and season-backwards planning. The difference is how much individualisation, testing and access to Steff you want.

Bespoke Silver is for serious developing quicks who want a clear, season-aligned plan and a dedicated PaceLab coach – without needing direct, frequent access to Steff.

Bespoke Gold is for performance-focused bowlers pushing for academy, county, franchise or professionalenvironments who want their programme written and overseen by Steff, with more frequent testing and faster feedback.

Bespoke Ultimate Platinum is for fast bowlers treating cricket like a career, already in or close to high-performance environments, who want Steff as their personal fast bowling coach, full HP testing and the complete kit setup.

If you’re not sure, apply anyway – tell us where you’re at and we’ll recommend the best tier for your goals and budget.

Choose Gold over Silver if any of these are true:

You want your programme personally written and overseen by Steff rather than just built from his system.

You value quarterly PitchWolf reports, full power profiling and ball-velocity + accuracy testing.

You want priority 24-hour feedback and week-to-week programme changes around fixtures, exams, tours and testing.

If you mainly need structure, support and a clear plan to follow, Silver is usually enough.

If you’re pushing hard for selection, contracts or scholarships, Gold is often the better fit.

Ultimate Platinum is for fast bowlers who:

Are already in, or very close to, academy / county / professional environments.

Want Steff – and only Steff – managing their bowling, with direct WhatsApp access.

Want same-day, highest-priority responses on agreed coaching days.

Are ready to commit to a 12-month high-performance project, including monthly and quarterly testing and a full HP kit at home.

If that’s not you yet, Gold is usually the right step for now, and you can always move up later.

It depends on the tier:

On Silver, you don’t need any big kit. A phone/tripod and simple training space are enough. A radar is helpful but optional.

On Gold, you’ll receive a free PaceLab Weighted Ball set (you just pay shipping) and can add a discounted Pocket Radar for more detailed ball-speed tracking.

On Ultimate Platinum, the PaceLab High-Performance Kit is a core part of the programme – around £1,700 of high-performance tools, provided to Ultimate athletes for £1,000. This includes Smart Coach Pocket Radar, Output Sports, weighted balls, bands, Aqua tools, Exergenie, PaceLab Kit Bag and more.

Yes. You’re not locked into one tier forever.

Typically:

Bowlers start at the tier that matches their current level, environment and budget.

As their performances and needs change, they move up a tier at a sensible transition point (for example, after the minimum term or at the end of a phase).

We’ll always be honest about whether staying, upgrading or stepping back is in your best interest.

Free drills on socials are fine for ideas. They are tactics.

PaceLab is built around the governing dynamics of fast bowling – the handful of things that actually move the needle on pace, robustness and performance over time.

Instead of “try this drill”, we start with questions like:

What are the key forces and positions that actually drive ball speed?

How do sprint mechanics, jump ability and front-leg stiffness interact for this bowler?

How much load can your body tolerate across a season without breaking down?

What has to change in your strength, rhythm, intent and workload to shift your ceiling?

From there, we’ve built a complete system:

A year-long plan built backwards from your season start date (GPP → SPP → Pre-Comp → In-Season).

Joined-up work across strength, speed, jumps, bowling workloads and technical focus – not random pieces.

Testing and feedback loops (PitchWolf, power profiling, ball speed, readiness) so we’re always checking if the governing dynamics are actually improving.

A clear ladder of support:

Silver – your entry point into the system.

Gold – programme written and overseen directly by Steff.

Ultimate Platinum – Steff as your personal fast bowling coach with a full HP kit and data environment.

Other companies may offer online coaching. Most are still built around drills and cues.

PaceLab is built around the underlying physics, biomechanics and constraints that govern how fast, how often and how safely you can bowl over a full year – and then wrapped in a coaching process that actually walks you through it.

Free drills give you content.

PaceLab Bespoke gives you a governed system, a long-term plan and coaches who are adjusting that plan for you in real time.

Only you (and your family) can decide what’s “worth it” – but here’s how we think about it.

Most fast bowlers and parents are already spending money on:

Nets and 1:1s that aren’t part of a bigger plan

Random S&C memberships or generic programmes

Travel to matches and trials with no structured build-up

Kit and bats that don’t fix the real issues (speed, robustness, workload)

PaceLab Bespoke is different. You’re investing in:

A clear 12-month roadmap instead of just hoping things click.

A system designed to improve pace and robustness together, not one at the expense of the other.

Support from coaches who live and breathe fast bowling, with Steff directly involved in Gold and fully leading Ultimate.

Data and feedback (PitchWolf, power profiling, ball speed, readiness) that actually tell you if what you’re doing is working.

For some athletes, that leads to:

Making and staying in academy/county squads

Being available for full seasons instead of breaking down

Genuinely adding pace over a 6–12 month window

Understanding how to train for the rest of their career

If you just want a couple of new drills, Bespoke is probably not the right product.

If you’re serious about your fast bowling and want a proper high-performance plan around you, most families and athletes find it’s one of the most leveraged spends they make on their cricket.

Getting started is simple:

Apply online – fill out the short application form and tell us about your age, level, season dates and goals.

We review your application – we look at your information (and footage if you send it) and decide whether Bespoke is a good fit right now.

We recommend a tier – Silver, Gold or Ultimate Platinum – based on your level, goals, budget and how much support you actually need.

Discovery call – you’ll be offered a call with the team to ask questions, check we’re aligned and confirm you’re happy to go ahead.

Onboarding & assignment call – we set you up on Volt, Onform and any apps you need, run your initial testing and hold your programme assignment call.

Your Bespoke year begins – you start working the plan, sending footage, testing and reviewing with your coach (and Steff in Gold/Ultimate).

You don’t pay anything on this page.

Step one is simply to apply, and we’ll honestly tell you if we think Bespoke is right for you – and if so, which tier makes the most sense.
