A personal message from the founder of T2hole – Stuart Willis.
Just over five years ago I picked up a golf club and very quickly became hooked on this fabulous game.
Like most beginners there were all sorts of swing problems, in my case a slice. Not being content with mediocrity, I wanted to fix this Slice and this is when the fun started!
I was soon having lessons, reading every golf magazine available and basically doing whatever I could to improve my game. It soon became apparent whilst studying the swings of Professional Golfers, that they were all slightly different; you only have to watch Jim Furyk to see what I mean. So what made these Professions so good, what was the common denominator?
The simple answer is ‘the impact zone’ (the six inches before & after the ball), all these great golfers were extremely consistent through the impact zone. So that’s where I started my quest to build the ultimate golf training aid.
It was really a bit of reverse engineering, us golfers needed a template, a stencil of the correct golf swing. We needed a device that could let us feel what a great swing should feel like, but at the same time it had to be forgiving and give us feedback whilst our bodies adjusted to this new swing.
Then came the Eureka moment, why didn’t we simply cut the perfect Swing Path into a channel for bristles?
I used the money from the sale of our home and business to fund the project and instructed a Firm of Industrial designers to help develop the concept.
Not being one to do things by halves, I wanted to develop a really comprehensive teaching and practise system, a product that would address not just Swingpath, but alignment, angle of attack, a product that could help you with your whole game, from driving to chipping and putting. A product that could be customised for each individual.
After two and a half years of research, testing, tweaking, blood sweat and tears we had finally done it, and the Golf Improvement System was born! The world’s first and only total improvement system.
