Lewis Clarke Performance Coach

Hi everyone 👋🏼 I’ll be closing this page since i post once a year on it! 🤣 If you want to keep up to date with my crap, add me as a friend instead 😄 Lewis x

Say hello to Tallulah Clarke ❤️ Mum was absolutely unbelievable and both are doing really well. Infinite cuddles have beenegun 🥰

A new chapter is beginning! I will be starting a full time role , lecturing in golf coaching 😄 A massive thank you to the team over the years for supporting my transition into working with golfers and giving me all the tools to progress 🙌🏼 Also a big shoutout to all students who have come across over the years and invested time with me 👊🏼 Really excited to continue this coach education journey, furthering on from my current tutoring role 📈 LETS GOOOOOOOOO 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼

Free event this Saturday - only a handful of places left already 🚨Check out how our technology can help your game ⛳️ DM for more info or book via page!

I was asked to contribute to a book chapter a while ago, not having any clue where it was going… fast forward 12 months (definitely didn’t forget I’d submitted it 👀) and I get an email from my supervisor saying it was published - so happy to find out it is in fantastic strength and conditioning for golf 📚🙌🏼 Hopefully more to come as we unearth more about golf and biomechanics ⛳️

The results are in 🥁… After a good mix of responses from players and coaches alike, yes edges the poll! Personally I’m more on the side of ‘no’ here… there are wayyyyyyy too many variables to consider. What to do we perceive to be a “good golf swing”? Can a good golf swing be a fade? Can a good golf swing have a “weak” or “strong” grip? Can a good golf swing have “early extension”? As a biomechanist, I still need to pay A LOT of attention to the ball and impact factors. If you have any thoughts post them below ⬇️

HE S&C students conducting some baselines testing with our academy golfers this week 📈 We discussed their rationale for selecting certain exercises/tests/“screens” and had some good critical discussions.

Golf Schools Over the winter months our Biomechanics Specialist Lewis Clarke is running various golf schools | Peter Field Golf Shop, Norwich.

Over the winter months we’re planning lots of clinics and educational events, so we can share all our expertise! We have one space this weekend left with me and .mitchellfitter, asking the question “which is better, a fitting or coaching sessions?” - DM me to book! Also keep an eye out on our socials () 📱 and emails 📧 for more clinics coming!

Evening all 👋🏼 last week we had the pleasure of visiting for a few practice days. I’ll be posting some of my favourite swing vids courtesy of stunning 📸 skills as I was too busy soaking it all in through the eyes! Unfortunately we both picked up covid and still recovering (very rough 🤮). We’ll be back stronger…

Huge shoutout to our little lefty legend competing in Vegas this week ⛳️ here’s a couple of my favourite photos from award winning photography, including an awesome view of his extension (pick where!) through impact and meeting friends/having fun 😃

Massive congratulations to all our Golf Academy students who received awards at sports awards evening 🏆 Special shoutout to who cleaned up a few awards for his continued dedication and hard work to elite performance 📈

Finding myself in a real state of deep gratitude over this past week - lots to be thankful for in this crazy world. Thanks to my recently announced fiancée for firstly saying yes (!) and secondly supporting me in chasing my crazy passions, ambitions and busy schedule - your support makes me be the best version of me ❤️ Lots more to be thankful for, including an exciting week coming up, starting an additional role… stay tuned 📈

Evening 👋🏼 In my story today I played the classic “guess the handicap game”… but why? In our swing lab we have some great tech, but video has been around for a while and most people have seen their swing from down the line, like this view here. Most students have a very defined negative opinion on what their top of backswing looks like, “it’s too flat” “my wrist is too cupped” “my shoulder plane is wrong” etc. But, this 1 frame and angle, at one singular position of the swing, only tells us a very very small part of a very big picture. How did we get it here and how are we going to move from here, would maybe be two better questions. Remember, looking swing pretty on Instagram doesn’t mean scores reduce!

Social media is becoming inundated with tips which will add miles onto your drives, make your ball striking elite and hole every putt you look at 🔥 Whilst I wish this was all true for my own game, unfortunately if it sounds to good to be true, it probably is. It’s easy to get sucked into quick gains, or try the latest drill to see if it works for your weekend swindle. However, change takes time. Just like everything in life, hard work, effort and good direction is going to equate to better performance 📈 Chasing gains also isn’t always a linear process, there will be days when progress stagnates, but the medium to long term picture is still taking shape! So next time you see that video which baits you in, stop and think… how will this help my game? Is this high quality information? Is it personal to me? Also, feel free to tag someone who needs to hear this message! 🤣

Head over to Instagram for some cool backswing upgrades 👏

Evening all 👋🏼 We’re back discussing some movement and concept changes we’ve had with students! Posture is always such an interesting topic, because everyone has a very distinct opinion of it. Like most things, i wouldn’t say I have any setup ‘preferences’, which some people would say is a cop out answer. But the reality is, everyone is going to need something a little different - we are individuals! Here we simply gave Russell a setup which would give him the best chance of being ‘active’ in the backswing. We changed the way he uses the ground in the backswing with some external cues and 💥, we have an active backswing. We can probably all agree it ‘looks prettier’, but it’s certainly a much more functional pattern.

From my family to yours, have a wonderful 2022 🎉 2021 was full of exciting challenges and memories, but Im excited for what lies ahead… progressing through the next stages of my doctorate 📚, continue teaching and sharing information 👨🏻‍🏫 and as always, improving my own game🏌️‍♂️ To all my students, I’m very appreciative for your continued support 🙌🏼 Feeling very thankful to have a great group of people around me who make all the above possible, from my beautiful partner , to all my family, friends, colleagues, academics, fellow coaches 🙏🏼💜 LETS F GOOOOOOOOOO 👊🏼

I am running some golf biomechanics clinics here at alongside our coaching team! This will be across some evenings in January (TBC) and I’ll be covering some key biomechanics principles we analyse using our 3D system () and pressure plates (). Lots of learning and engagement! If you’d like to know more, DM me or contact the coaching team 📩

Any questions on creating speed?

Say hello to 3 bombers 👋🏼 These 3 lads all swing 7 iron between 90-100mph, which is serious speed 🚀 Can we notice any tendencies between them? #bombsquad #longball #golf #golfcoaching #longdrive

Evening y’all 👋🏼 I’ve seen this posting the rounds and had a few people send it to me for my ‘take’. I can only comment on my experience in golf as a player, fitter and coach. We (the team at ) spend a lot of time and money on CPD courses, getting and remaining certified, getting the best fitting equipment (launch monitors are fricken expensive bro) and having an extensive fitting selection. This is why I believe paying for a professional, agnostic/independent fitting service is justifiable. IMO we should be looking at more issues in club fitting, such as the lack of “extensively trained fitters”, who are just good golfers who measure your height and make you try 1000 head/shaft combos. We should be looking at why people have reservations about getting a custom fitting and overcome those boundaries. We should be looking at why custom fitters don’t understand the launch monitor data they work with. It’s more than just look at the screen and see which goes further. So if you don’t want to pay for a fitting that’s cool, but this helps us give you most professional service you would expect. Would love to hear your thoughts with an open discussion💭
