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?
- CAPTO is a putting analysis system composed by an high accuracy sensor and associated software that can run in all your devices.
- 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 | New Chapter ’26
Simon’s long term coaching client and friend Jordan Smith’s journey from a committed young player at Bowood Golf Club to earning his place on the PGA Tour is a credit to his hard work, resilience, and steady progress through every level of the game.
His rise from the Challenge Tour to the DP World Tour has shown his consistency, professionalism, and calmness under pressure.
Watching that development has been a privilege for PGA Coach Simon Shanks, who feels grateful to have played a small part in Jordan’s growth. His success is entirely down to Jordan’s dedication, and Simon will be cheering him on with pride as he begins this exciting new chapter on the PGA Tour.
For Simon, seeing Jordan reach this stage is a reminder of what makes coaching so rewarding: helping players find confidence in their abilities, supporting them through the inevitable challenges, and witnessing their efforts pay off.
Jordan’s progress reflects everything that can be achieved through patience, belief, and a genuine love for the game.
Bob MacIntyre
“…… we spoke to the right people and I started working with Simon Shanks.
Simon started working with Robert in the summer of 2022 and quickly saw success in winning the Italian Open at Marco Simone.
Robert MacIntyre’s journey from a small town in Scotland to competing on the global stage is a testament to his talent, hard work, and dedication to the sport. His future in golf looks promising as he continues to compete at the highest levels and achieve more success.
MacIntyre and Shanks joined forces in the summer of 2022 and the partnership paid dividends almost immediately, with his second tour win arriving at the Italian Open a few weeks later.
The elite coach has built a strong reputation as being one of the best on tour with 20 years of experience.
“We’ve obviously got my swing coach, Simon Shanks, who has done a great job with me,” MacIntyre said, crediting Shanks after his win at the Canadian Open in Ontario.
