Swing Catalyst force plates with full data analysis on the big screen

Assessments

An Objective Look at Your Game. No Coaching Required.

An assessment is a performance snapshot — a precise, data-driven deep dive into what your body and swing are actually doing. Walk out with a complete picture and a clear plan. Whether you work with me, work with another coach, or just want to know — you don't know what you don't know.

Is This You?

Three Kinds of Golfers Book Assessments

The Drop-In

You don't want structured lessons. You want an independent analysis — a clear, honest look at what's happening in your swing and what you might do about it. One session. No strings attached. No commitment to ongoing coaching.

The Second Opinion

You're already working with a coach — and that's great. You want force plate data, a body screen, or both to bring back to your coaching sessions. I'll send the full report directly to your coach if you want. I'm not here to replace your instructor. I'm here to give both of you better data.

The Data Hunter

You're a competitive player — junior, college, or touring pro — who wants a performance baseline. Hard numbers on your ground forces and body capabilities. Or you're the kind of golfer who just wants to understand why before deciding what to do about it. Either way: data first, decisions later.

Three Ways to Get Answers

Swing Catalyst Assessment

$250 + HST · 60 minutes

A one-hour session designed to give you a precise, data-driven understanding of your golf swing. Using the Swing Catalyst Dual Motion Force Plates and TrackMan — the same technologies trusted by Tour professionals — we measure the ground reaction forces that power your swing.

You'll discover how you create, transfer, and apply force — and where energy leaks are costing you speed, consistency, or control. The system captures things you can't see on video: how you pressure the ground, how effectively you shift it, and whether you're using the right blend of vertical, rotational, and lateral forces.

What You Get:

  • Complete force plate data report — pressure distribution, COP trace, force vectors under each foot
  • TrackMan swing data (40+ club and ball parameters)
  • High-speed video of your swings
  • Plain-English walkthrough of what the data means
  • Expert recommendations on drills and feels that could help
  • All data emailed same day

Best for: understanding your ground force pattern — the invisible engine of your swing.

TPI Body Assessment

$250 + HST · 60 minutes

A one-hour session that uncovers the physical factors influencing your golf swing. Using the official Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) screening system, we evaluate your body across 16+ key movement patterns that directly impact how you swing the club.

This screen identifies mobility and stability limitations that may be holding you back — from restricted hip rotation to limited thoracic mobility to shoulder instability. These limitations often create compensations in your swing that no amount of swing tips can fix.

What You Get:

  • Full TPI movement screen — 16+ tests across mobility, stability, balance, and function
  • Identification of physical limitations connected to your swing compensations
  • Explanation of how those issues are likely showing up in your swing
  • Personalized mobility and exercise program generated by the TPI Pro App — tailored to your exact needs
  • Written report emailed same day

Best for: understanding your body's role — especially if you deal with stiffness, pain, or loss of mobility.

Complete Body-Swing Assessment

$450 + HST · 2 hours

The most comprehensive way to understand your game. This combines the Swing Catalyst Assessment and the TPI Body Assessment into a single two-hour deep dive — but the real value isn't just getting both tests. It's the integration.

By looking at your swing forces and your body's movement capabilities side by side, we connect the dots between the data and the underlying why behind it. Limited hip rotation? We'll see exactly how it's distorting your force pattern. Restricted thoracic mobility? We'll trace it straight to your ball flight.

This gives you a clear, holistic picture of what's happening in your swing — and a combined action plan that links your body and swing together.

What You Get:

  • Everything from both assessments above
  • Integrated body-swing analysis — how physical limitations directly influence your force patterns
  • Personalized roadmap: combined action plan of swing drills, feels, and corrective exercises
  • Full data package emailed same day

Save $50

vs. booking both assessments separately ($500 + HST if booked individually)

Best for: the golfer who wants the complete picture in one session. No unknowns.

Good to Know

This Is Not a Golf Lesson.

Assessments and coaching are two different things — and that's by design.

An Assessment

An objective performance snapshot. I measure what's happening, explain what it means, and give you recommendations. You take that information wherever you want — to your own practice, to another coach, or to your next conversation about your game. There's zero expectation of continuing with me.

The Intro Session

The entry point for ongoing coaching. It includes assessment and teaching — we identify what's going on, make changes in real time, and start building a roadmap for structured improvement. If you want a coaching relationship where each session builds on the last, that's where you start.

Not sure which one is right for you?

If you want clarity and data without commitment, book an assessment. If you want to start changing your swing today and you're open to an ongoing process, book the Intro Session.

What You'll Get

Your Data, Explained — Not Just Delivered

After your assessment, you'll receive a complete data package by email the same day: force plate readings, TrackMan reports, swing videos, and my written recommendations. But the real value happens during the session — I walk you through every chart, every number, every pattern so you understand exactly what it means.

This isn't a black box. You won't get a PDF full of numbers and no context. You'll understand what the data says, why it matters, and what to do about it.

FAQ

Questions About Assessments

Do I need to be a current student to book an assessment?
Not at all. Assessments are standalone — most people book one session, get their data, and that's it. No commitment, no sales pitch.
Can you send the results to my coach?
Absolutely. Just let me know and I'll send the full data package directly to them. I work with coaches across the GTA who use the force plate data to enhance their own teaching.
How is this different from the Intro Session?
The Intro Session is the starting point for ongoing coaching — it includes assessment and teaching. We identify what's going on and start making changes on the spot. An assessment is pure data collection and analysis. No teaching, no coaching expectations, no assumption you'll come back. Just answers.
I don't know which assessment to pick.
If you want to understand your swing mechanics and ground forces, start with the Swing Catalyst Assessment. If you're dealing with physical limitations, stiffness, or pain, the TPI Body Assessment will show you why. If you want the complete picture in one shot — and to see how your body limitations directly affect your swing forces — the Complete Body-Swing Assessment connects both.
What should I bring?
Your clubs and whatever you'd wear to hit balls. That's it.
I'm already working with another coach. Is that weird?
Not at all — in fact, it's one of the most common reasons people book. The data I provide gives your coach an additional layer of insight they may not have access to. I'm not trying to replace anyone. I'm giving you (and them) better information.

Stop Guessing. Start Measuring.

One session. Complete data. A clear picture of what's driving your swing — and what to do about it. Whether you take that data to your own practice, bring it to your coach, or decide to start working with me — the answers are yours.
