I Adopt a systemic approach to improvement and is a key factor in delivering a constant message to my students. Therefore I adopt the following approach when analysing any area of the game, based on your current level I look at the following factors:

1. How you control the low point (arrive at impact)
2. How you control the curvature (your desired shot shape)
3.. How you move your body in a functional manner to avoid injury and influence the other points.

One of the most valuable tools provided through this platform is the online analysis and tutorials. By analyzing areas of your game I can identify areas that need improvement and provide detailed instructions on how to make those improvements. These tutorials are available online, which means that you can access them at any time, from anywhere through your personalised SKILLEST locker.

Look forward to seeing you on the practice tee
