Hello Tom and members, from London,UK. I'm a Professional Musician, so I currently have LOTS of time to obsess about my swing......!
I just wanted to thank Tom for his prompt and amazingly valuable lesson that I received on Monday. I'm a 20 Handicap, on an easy course and have been struggling with Fat and Toe Hits, mainly on Par 3 Tees, which has been destroying my aim of getting down to 18 this year.
Tom highlighted 2 faults, I took his drills to the range yesterday and saw instant improvements. With my right knee not kicking in and getting my arm off my chest, the ball was going long and high off the middle of the bat. Previously I'd been having a lesson every other week at my local course, £25 for 30 minutes and I can honestly say that a $50 video analysis with Tom is a total bargain in comparison. Thanks again, Tom and I'll be sending my new swing though in a couple of weeks. Cheers. Adam
Cheers!
Hi Tom,
Have sent you a swing from yesterday for analysis. Couldn’t add any comments to it, so guess this is the easiest way.
Have managed to keep my right foot planted more and get trail arm off chest. Watched your hitting ball with handle video, and that seemed to tie in as a swing thought to get arm off chest more.
it seems to me from video, and I’ve always done this, looking at video from 15 years ago, that my hands are way too high at impact and my hips aren’t opening. Are these related? I guess it will probably be Whackamole for the next few weeks!!
Many thanks for the help so far.

Only had chance for a couple of range sessions on the drills this week. Played an awful round on Wednesday, but was playing golf swing instead of golf. Went round yesterday, only a 5,260 Yd Par 68 Goat Track, but shot a totally legit 86, no Mulligans or Gimmies. No Toe Hits and only a couple of Very Fat Fat Shots, but that was the last hole and I was tired. Couple of days off and back to the range on Monday. Went off a 20 handicap, and scored 39 Points, so 18 seems realistic when things bed in.Thanks, Tom!
Thanks for the fantastic update, @1759adam, and I appreciate your kind words and endorsement with regard to the V1 service!! I'm glad to know those drills are working well for you - great job incorporating them into your swing! Now it's time to fully ingrain those feels and blow through that 18 handicap goal!!
Well done!!!
