The SSL testing system
Data gives your training direction.
Most golfers know they want more speed. Far fewer know which physical quality deserves their time. SSL replaces that guesswork with a clear, individual priority based on connected testing.
Find what matters next
Prioritise
The results are interpreted together to identify the highest-value physical quality for you to work on — not a generic list of weaknesses.
Available through membership
Train & retest
If you join an ongoing membership, your assessment priority becomes a personalised programme supported by check-ins, focused retesting and regular updates.
What we assess
Four questions.
One connected profile.
A result only matters if it changes the decision. We look across four connected areas to understand where your best opportunity may sit.
01Swing speed
How fast are you now?
Create a repeatable clubhead-speed baseline and understand your current output.
02Movement
How well can you move?
Assess the golf-relevant movement options that may influence how you swing and train.
03Strength
How much force can you produce?
Test the strength qualities that may deserve a place in your speed-development plan.
04Power
How quickly can you produce it?
Measure your ability to express force quickly and connect it to practical training decisions.

Sample data shown for illustration. Your dashboard uses the tests and measures selected for your individual profile and current priority. Handicap is tracked as playing context, not as proof that physical training alone caused a scoring change.
What “monthly retest” means
A focused progress retest repeats the measures most relevant to your current priority. It is not another full assessment. That keeps the process useful, repeatable and sustainable every month.
More tiers will follow
Higher-support options are in development. SSL is starting with two memberships so the delivery stays precise, personal and sustainable.

earn its place.
Explore equipment for speed measurement, training and the gym, organised around a clear purpose. Start with what your training needs and what you already have.
Equipment I RecommendClear by design
Physical performance.
Not swing reconstruction.
SSL develops the golfer’s physical capacity rather than providing traditional technical swing coaching. When a golf coach, physiotherapist or another specialist is the right answer, we will say so.
Mobile across London & Surrey
Your assessment, at a suitable location near you.
A full SSL assessment can be delivered at a suitable golf club, driving range or home setup across London, Surrey and surrounding areas. Mobile visits are generally available within approximately one hour of Dorking. We will confirm that the space and equipment are suitable before booking.
The City Golf Club in Royal Arsenal, Woolwich remains an established studio option. Mobile visits make the same assessment accessible across Dorking, Godstone, Reigate, Redhill, Caterham, wider Surrey and London. A fully remote assessment service is coming soon.

Good to know
Questions,
answered.
How much is the full SSL assessment?+
The full assessment is £220 as a standalone service. Purchase it when starting Lab Core or Lab Performance and it is £110 — a 50% saving. Either route gives you a clear physical-performance profile and your highest-value training priority.
How do I begin an SSL membership?+
Begin with the full assessment and choose Lab Core or Lab Performance at the same time. Your assessment is then reduced from £220 to £110, and the findings provide the evidence needed to build your personalised programme.
How does the monthly retest work?+
Monthly retesting is focused on the measures connected to your current priority. It provides an efficient way to confirm progress and make the next programme update with useful, current data.
Why are membership places limited?+
Limiting places protects the quality of the service. It allows enough time for every member’s data review, individual programme design and ongoing feedback, with new places released as coaching capacity becomes available.
How does SSL work alongside golf coaching?+
SSL develops the physical qualities that can support your golf, including movement, strength, power and speed. It complements technical coaching, while your golf coach remains the right person to guide swing changes.
Can testing be adapted around an injury or pain?+
Yes. Share anything relevant before testing and the process can be adapted or paused to keep it appropriate for you. Where useful, Josh will also recommend seeking guidance from the right healthcare professional.
