About Me
Liam James

What I Offer
Liam offers both in-person and online coaching to players of all abilities who are keen to improve their game.
In Person
In person lessons involve an in-depth conversation to get a background of where your game’s at and any areas you are looking to improve.
After this you will be welcomed to the private teaching bay where Liam will analyse and provide feedback on your swing. Liam uses TrackMan to provide you with quantitative, objective data to provide an insight into both club and ball data. If you have identified putting as something you would like to improve on, Liam uses the putting analysis system called CAPTO to give you real time data in real outdoor conditions. After the lesson you will receive a tailored message using the swing analysis system on OneXP with a plan going forward to guarantee improvement. The message will contain demonstrations of drills to do during practice time and video feedback from your lesson so you can refamiliarise yourself with what to work on.
Live Lessons
The live lessons work similarly to the in-person lessons, but your tuition will take place from the comfort of your own bay.
All live lessons will run through the OneXP app video call feature. After each lesson you will be provided with demonstrations of drills that you should practice in your own time to aid your improvement.
Online Lessons
You will be asked to fill out a questionnaire beforehand to get a background to your game and what to focus on in the lessons.
You will be asked to submit a side-on and down the line video where you will be given a voice-over analysis and written feedback along with onscreen annotations to allow you to visualise where you need to improve.
Packages
The packages aim to help players looking for consistent support.
The packages run on a Gold, Silver and Bronze subscription with clients being offered the most from Liam’s services on the Gold Plan. Payments are made monthly on OneXP ranging from 6 months to a year depending on the package choice.
You can see explanations of each package on the app which consists of swing analysis turnaround time, turnaround in replies, tutorial access, practice plans, stat plans as well as details of contact time in between coaching hours.
