First Cutt Performance Lab
Led by Brad Smith.
Expert instruction for every level of golfer. Tour-level radar, a PGA professional, and the data to actually change something in your swing — not just a lesson that feels good for an afternoon.
Every level welcome — from first-ever swing to single figures
Why data-first coaching
A lesson here starts with your numbers.
Feel is easy to argue with; a radar is not. Working on TrackMan means you and Brad are looking at the same eight numbers after every swing — so the lesson works on what is actually happening, and you can see the change on screen before you leave.
- Hit balls, get measured.
You warm up and swing while TrackMan captures every shot — ball speed, launch, spin, strike, carry. No guessing about what your miss really is.
- Read the data together.
Brad walks through what the numbers say about face, path and strike — in plain language, prioritised, one thing at a time.
- Change it and see it.
You work the change and watch the same numbers move. Progress here is measured, not remembered.
