Welcome to another exciting edition of our weekly newsletter. In this week news we talk about why we measure and never guess, free balls and personalisation and some of this year’s hottest products land in-store.
Enjoy the read.

Measure everything, guess nothing!
Coaching has formed a major part of my professional career, having coached full time for 10 years prior to my appointment at West Bradford.
Seeing my students improve their skills, reduce their handicap and most importantly enjoy their game more is very rewarding as a coach.
In more recent years with the advancement of technology, this has only enhanced the lesson experience for our clients.
Pictured below is actual before and after data taken during a 30-minute lesson last week.
|
Notice most importantly the strike location on the club face, essentially a shank in picture 1 (38mm heel) compared to 5mm heel strike in picture 2. Also the improvement in swing path (direction), out-to-in of 6.3 degrees in picture 1 compared to a 0.3 degree path in picture 2.
This was the first of a series of lessons for our client. Still plenty to improve on but not a bad start I think you’ll agree!
|
The numbers don’t lie!
We have such a vast array of clubs on the market, choosing the right equipment can be bewildering for many people. All the top named manufacturers are producing superb equipment but to help you make the right decision we use launch monitor technology to help guide you.
Below is actual data taken from a club fitting I carried out last week in the studio.
|
Firstly notice the 7mph increase in ball speed when comparing our customers own club (labelled 7-iron) with the TaylorMade M6 equivalent. It may not sound much but with the improved launch conditions this increased the total distance on average by 11 yards! Not only was our customer now hitting the ball a club further but the dispersion (accuracy) of the shots also improved.
During an iron fitting it is now fairly normal for us to see average increases in distance of anywhere between 10-20 yards without losing accuracy! Don’t just take our word for it, let us measure your shot data during a fitting and you can see for yourself that modern properly fitted equipment does make a big difference, increasing your enjoyment on the course!

Practice like the Pro's
Running from now until the end of March is our studio practice offer. For the special price of £100.00, receive 6 x 1-hour studio sessions (can be taken as 12 x 30-minute sessions) on the virtual driving range. Practice with any club in your bag and allow our launch monitor to record your shots exactly how they would be hit outside.
5 benefits to practicing in our studio:
1. Quiet, private and relaxing environment.
2. Use proper golf balls and not limited distance range balls.
3. Practice in all weathers.
4. Choice of range practice or on virtual courses.
5. Accurate information on distances to help with gapping.

TaylorMade launch day!
Last Friday was the official launch day of TaylorMade’s latest line up of equipment, namely the M5 and M6 models.
Pictured below is Mark Tyler Golf customer (and neighbor for 20 years) Richard, collecting his custom-fit M6 driver, fairways and hybrid. Richard is a big fan of the club giant’s equipment having upgraded from last year’s M4 model. Richard went on to shoot a gross score of 74 at his home course of Bingley St.Ives (5 shots under is handicap) just 2-days later!

Big day for Archie!
A couple of weeks ago I reported on a club fitting for Archie, an 11-year old junior who first had lessons with me when he was just 3 and a half years old.
Archie visited us last Saturday in the studio, for his handover session of his new golf equipment.
Pictured is Archie proudly standing with his new TaylorMade M6 irons, M4 driver, fairway and cart bag.
We hope you enjoy using them Archie!

[* END *] Overseas coaching trip
On Sunday I will be flying out to Portugal and then heading over the border into Spain for my first overseas coaching trip of 2019. I will be escorting a group of 10 golfers (including 7 West Bradford members) on a 4-night stay at the El Rompido Golf Resort in south west Spain. I will be coaching on each of the mornings prior to our lunch time games.
If you’d like to follow the trip on social media, I will be posting on my official Twitter, Facebook and Instagram pages. Just search for marktylergolf on any of these platforms.

We all love new golf equipment – be it balls, clubs or shoes; there’s nothing like stepping out onto the course knowing that everything in your bag is in pristine condition. Except, for the majority of golfers, there’s always one thing which is often forgotten about... |
 | | How old are your grips? |
 | | Losing control during your swing? |
|
If you pulled a club out of your bag now, what state would your grips be in? You’ll probably notice that they’re at the very least losing some of the tackiness they once had or, in the worst cases, worn away so badly that they’re completely unrecognizable - a clear sign they need to be replaced. The benefits to getting your clubs regripped are huge, and they can even improve your performance. Take the ALIGN grips from Golf Pride; these have a raised edge on the back (red part of grip seen here) to perfect your hand placement every time. |
|
As you can see, we're currently running a promotion where you can get your 7-iron regripped for FREE; all you need to do is pop in-store and decide which of these grips you want to try out. |
