REMOTE LEARNING WITH STEVE
Technology Used In Lessons
Trackman® 3E in every lesson with Steve
Steve is a specialist on utilising Trackman® to the benefit of his clients and has this leading technology available in all of his lessons. With Trackman, Steve is able to fine tune all areas of your game, allowing real time data to provide the basis of making the natural improvements needed to gain those extra yards or bring your scores down.
BodiTrak Golf Pressure Mat
BodiTrak is a world leader in ground force reactions. Using this extraordinary technology, the golfer can now see how they interact with the ground. It shows pressure through the golf swing for left and right side, toe, and heel and the amount of pressure exerted downward.
HackMotion Golf 3D Wrist Analysis
HackMotion wrist sensor makes it easier to measure and optimize your wrist angles to gain better clubface control and more controlled ball flight with smart biofeedback solution. Compatible for full swing, pitching and putting, this nifty device lets you easily track and get feedback during lessons, where you can compare and benchmark swings to previous data or PGA Tour player results.
Video Analysis
Seeing is believing. Most players prefer visual feedback and with the assistance of our TrackMan software we are well equipped to demonstrate any technical issues and show how students are progressing with the recommended swing changes. Each swing is videoed in slow motion and automatically uploaded and ready to be viewed. Each video is complete with all the data TrackMan offers.
CoachNow Platform

Our clients can use this to post videos of the at the range and on the golf course for our viewing in a golf lesson or with a remote / online coaching package.
