Unlock Your Potential: Data-Driven Golf Improvement with SkyTrak+

Take your game to the next level with unparalleled insight into your swing and ball flight. Our facility features the revolutionary SkyTrak+ launch monitor, a state-of-the-art photometric and radar system that captures detailed club and ball data to help you achieve lasting improvement.

Key Metrics Captured by SkyTrak+:

  • Club Data: Analyse your club path, clubface angle, face-to-path relationship, and clubhead speed to identify the root cause of inconsistent shots.

  • Ball Data: Gain precise readings on your start line, side spin, backspin, launch angle, and efficiency to fully understand your ball flight dynamics.

The information gathered by SkyTrak+ is invaluable during lessons. By highlighting the areas of your swing that need attention, it allows for targeted coaching focused on eliminating slices and hooks, achieving longer, straighter shots, and optimizing overall performance.

If your ball flight is costing you distance, SkyTrak+ identifies issues with dynamic loft delivery and spin rates. By understanding whether you have too much or too little backspin, we can work together to optimize trajectory and maximize distance.

The innovative ‘bag mapping’ and 'wedge matrix' features take the guesswork out of club selection. It measures carry and total distance for every club in your bag, from full swings to delicate wedges, allowing for smarter course management and more confident shot choices.

After each session, you can receive a comprehensive email summary of your data, providing insights and focus areas to support your continued progress between lessons.

Fix Your Slice or Hook: Instant Wrist Angle Feedback with Hackmotion

Frustrated by slices or hooks? Straight, consistent shots start with proper clubface control—and that begins with your wrists.

Hackmotion is an unobtrusive wrist sensor that helps you develop the correct wrist positions for a more accurate swing. Connecting wirelessly to your device, it provides instant visual and audible feedback at every stage of your swing.

Hackmotion identifies detrimental wrist positions that lead to directional errors, while also guiding you to the correct movements needed to square the clubface at impact. By reinforcing these habits, it accelerates your learning, helping you achieve a functional wrist and clubface position that produces consistently straighter shots.

Gain control of your clubface, and gain control of your game.

There are very few golfing mentors who really take time to wish to engage with the people they teach. You are one of very few. Most golf professionals, but not you, have a natural arrogance and may show how golf can be done but not really attempt to show the trainee they are teaching how they can best play what is, after all, a game!! Most very good golfers prefer not to pass on their gift because they themselves want to retain a competitive edge. They go one step further and attempt to gain more of a competitive edge by sledging or gamesmanship. Learning to get competent at golf wholly by playing golf on a golf course is not an option for those who work and have families.

I thank you for the time you have spent teaching me and preparing advice for me. I shall now begin to work with the advice intended to improve my game for next season as I intend to beat this season’s best, a gross 76, next year and do that from the competition tees. Two seasons ago, I struggled to break 90. I look forward to being able to show my progress at my next lesson with you. I shall be in contact soon regarding that.
