Diagnose Any Swing With The 3Ps

Great coaching starts with knowing exactly what you’re looking at. L1 breaks the swing into three components using David Leadbetter’s proven 3Ps system, so you can find the root cause of any issue and deliver consistently high-quality lessons.

Use Tech Like a Pro

Modern golfers want to see their swing, not just hear about it. L1 teaches you to film and analyze swings professionally, present them in a way that sets you apart, and choose the right software and platforms.

Run Lessons With a Clear Goal

Every lesson should move a student forward. Learn how to combine theory, visuals, and feel through drills and training aids to hit each lesson’s goal and build a long-term plan.

Get a Proven Drill Toolbox

Receive the tried and tested drills David Leadbetter and his instructors use worldwide to help students feel the movements they need.
