FAQs: Do you teach a "method"?

I like a very 'centered swing model' (ie; Mac O'Grady and stack n tilt) my keys focus around clubface control, centered pivot, and ground force. I believe the swing should work around your body's capabilities and limitations — not the other way around.

I use Trackman/Mevo Gen2 and Mevo  data to identify root causes rather than symptoms,  I use my years of experience and knowledge to make to make sure I can advise every student both physically and mentally. My approach is heavily influenced by Andy Plummer and Mac O'Grady. There are many tour players past and present I like to use for models, Tommy Fleetwood, Grant Waite, Charles Howell III,
