FACE TO FACE TUITION TECHNOLOGY & SUPPORT
Using only leading technologies to support our on-going face to face and remote tuition programs.
WHAT IS HACKMOTION?
IMPORTANCE OF WRIST ANGLES
You already know that clubface control is the ultimate control of your ball.
In fact, more than 80% of golf ball’s initial direction is determined by the clubface.
To improve ball flight, many coaches focus on aligning the player’s body position without paying that much attention to the wrists.
However, your hands are the only part of the body which is in direct contact with the club.
Meaning that your wrist alignment directly determines the clubface angle.
We know how important it is to measure wrist movement, so we created the ultimate golf training tool so that you can easily find the necessary adjustments to the wrist position for an improved ball flight.
WHAT IS COACHNOW?
Founded by Coaches for Coaches
CoachNow® formally known as Edufii® was founded by High Performance Coach Spencer Dennis in 2014 out of his real pains as a successful coach. 40+ hours per week sending emails, texts, youtube links etc. was driving him nuts as he strove to create the ideal learning environment for his athletes and their support network.
Flash forward to today – CoachNow has helped 1,000s of those in the business of coaching across 60 sports in 140 countries make a greater impact with their athletes and business via our cutting edge tech.
WHAT IS TRACKMAN?
IMPROVE FASTER | UNMATCHED DATA QUALITY AT YOUR FINGERTIPS
The Dual Radar Technology enables even more data to be captured. Due to its focused, high-resolution radar beam, the TrackMan 4 launch monitor provides the user with the greatest detail and accuracy of the club and ball at the moment of impact. The amount of detail achieved in the club delivery and ball flight is greatly superior to what is possible through Single Radar Technology.
This advancement provides the perfect foundation for analysis and diagnosis. Conclusive data is delivered in an easy-to-understand format, empowering professionals to excel in their training routines.
Don’t guess what you can measure.
WHAT IS CAPTOGOLF?

- It is easy to use, highly accurate and very light.
- CAPTO offers putting analysis in real time indoor and outdoor and in real game condition. It’s new cutting edge technology giving detailed accurate and reliable putting parameters for complete analysis.

Jordan Smith | Rookie success story
In his rookie year on the European Tour, Jordan achieved his first victory, in the Porsche European Open, and finished his campaign 24th in the Race to Dubai.
The following year he proved his talent wasn’t a bluff when he completed the 2018 season with four top-10s, highlighted by a share of third place at the Volvo China Open. The 26-year-old is now 121st in the Official World Golf Ranking.
“Jordan progressed through the tours and neither of us ever sat down and said: ‘We want to get onto the European Tour,’ or be a top amateur.’ “It just happened!
One of our strengths was that we took each of his achievements a step at a time. Before you knew it, we were at the Walker Cup.
Once we got there, we were thinking, what’s next? EuroPro, Challenge Tour, European Tour…”

Eddie Pepperell | Why Shanksey …
Last season, Shanks turned his coaching attention to one of golf’s most talented yet outspoken players, Eddie Pepperell, who had lost his European Tour card in 2016 but won it back via Q-School. However, he was still seeking his first win on Tour and his driver had been letting him down for a number of years.
Pepperell went on that season to earn numerous top-10s, including a sixth place finish at The Open, and then picked up a second win at the Sky Sports British Masters with Smith two places behind.
Pepperell has climbed to 36th in the world after his superb tied-third finish in the Players Championship, whereas he was 154th a year ago before his partnership with Shanksy began.

Annabel Dimmock | Back to the grind ….
Annabel Dimmock has set her sights on making Europe’s Solheim Cup team after breaking into the winner’s circle at the Jabra Ladies Open last month.
Dimmock was picked for the 2014 European Junior Ryder Cup team at Blairgowrie in Scotland and would love to be on the plane to Gleneagles with her good friend Georgia Hall, the 2018 Women’s British Open champion, in September.
Speaking at Phoenix Gold Golf and Country Club in Pattaya on Wednesday, Dimmock said:
“I had a few days off with my friends and family celebrating the win and then went to see my coach, Simon Shanks, and was like, right: let’s start again now. It’s been back to the grind.
