So what are you actually trying to fix?

A real example of Timeless Golf Swing diagnosis, pulled straight from our growing archive of over 600 hours of recorded lessons.

Timeless Golf Swing diagnosis comes down to one thing: working out what’s actually causing the shot you see, not just reacting to it.

If the ball goes right, don’t immediately change something.

If the next one goes left, don’t make another change.

If you suddenly lose distance, don’t automatically try to swing harder.

Instead ask:

What is the pattern?

What is causing it?

Because the shot you see is the result.

It isn’t necessarily the problem.

That’s why Timeless Golf Swing diagnosis is such an important part of the Timeless Golf Swing®.

We’re not trying to build a technically perfect-looking golf swing.

We’re trying to understand what is preventing your swing from being free-flowing, coordinated and balanced, and then work on the thing that matters most.

Timeless Golf Swing Diagnosis: Exactly What We’re Doing This Winter

This lesson took place last October.

The golfer had an out-to-in path, a background in tennis, and a shot shape he couldn’t get rid of. Before Julian even started the diagnosis, he said this:

“There’s a pattern somewhere. That’s part of where I want to get to. What is the pattern? How do we change it?”

A year later, we’re approaching winter again, and this is actually one of the best times to find out what’s really going on in your golf swing.

You’re not trying to patch something up before Saturday’s competition.

You’ve got time to understand the pattern, make a change and, importantly, practise that change.

Later in that same lesson, once Julian had traced it back to where it was actually starting, the golfer said something that sums up why this matters:

“I’m a bit baffled as to how I can still be going out-to-in. It’s more on the way down.”

He’d felt the shot. He hadn’t felt the cause. That gap is exactly what Timeless Golf Swing diagnosis is there to close.

That’s exactly why we’ve created the Winter Timeless Golf Improvement Programme.

It isn’t simply a block of golf lessons.

We start with your golf swing.

What are you struggling with?

What does the ball flight tell us?

What do the numbers tell us?

And, using the three principles of the Timeless Golf Swing®, what is actually causing the problem?

Then we decide what needs changing, and just as importantly, what doesn’t.

From there, the programme gives you dedicated simulator practice between your coaching sessions so you can work on the right thing rather than simply hitting more balls.

Coaching → Correct Diagnosis → Practice → Feedback → Review
