Real Progress
Pattern shifts inside 20 minutes. A homework plan you can actually do in 5 minutes a day. Member profile logs every swing between sessions.
What happens
One hour. Four steps. Real progress.
1. Watch
Tom watches your first 5-8 swings without saying anything. He's looking at twelve things at once.
2. Diagnose
He shows you the one thing — sometimes two — actually holding your game back. On the playback, frame by frame.
3. Drill
Two or three drills, in the right order. The simulator tracks every rep. Pattern shifts inside 20 minutes.
4. Take it home
You leave with a 5-minute daily drill and a homework plan. Member profile logs your swings between sessions.
