Lessons utilize industry-leading technology to provide detailed analysis of your swing and ball flight, including:
These tools allow your instructor to identify opportunities for improvement and provide objective feedback that translates to better performance on the course.
TrackMan is one of the most trusted launch monitor systems in golf. It uses dual radar technology to measure club delivery, ball speed, launch angle, spin rate, carry distance, shot shape, and dozens of other performance metrics. This data helps instructors diagnose swing characteristics with precision and develop personalized improvement plans.
GASP Labs force plates measure how you interact with the ground throughout your golf swing. By analyzing balance, weight transfer, pressure shifts, and ground reaction forces, instructors gain valuable insights into how your body generates power and consistency. This technology helps identify movement patterns that may be limiting distance, accuracy, or efficiency.

Custom fittings are available for clubs from leading manufacturers, including PING, Titleist, TaylorMade, and Callaway. Properly fitted clubs can improve consistency, distance, accuracy, and overall confidence.
