He uses video technology to show you what is happening at various phases in your swing and breaks down things to try in order to improve your results. I will continue to go to John to elevate my game. > From Jamal, 5 out of 5 > John covered nearly every aspect of the game in just 4 lessons with my wife and me. My wife improved immensely! I loved the recorded swing videos compared to a PGA pro, and the launch monitor data on club path made his feedback concrete. Knowledgeable, patient, and highly recommended. We'd book again! > From Miles, 5 out of 5 > Still early in my golf game. John knows his stuff, keeps it simple, and gives you one or two things to work on instead of overloading you. Seeing real progress already. Good guy too, easy to talk to, and makes the lessons worth every penny. If you're newer to golf, go see John. > From Connor, 5 out of 5 > John has been a joy to work with! He's done a wonderful job of analyzing my swing and utilizing swing tracking to bring my swing closer to the gold standard. > From Kevin, 5 out of 5 > John is a great coach! Helped fix my swing and grip. I continue to get lessons from him and sharpen my game. > From Kiefer, 5 out of 5 ## Pages on this site - [Home](https://sites.coach/john-babcock/index.md) - [About](https://sites.coach/john-babcock/about/index.md) - [All services](https://sites.coach/john-babcock/services/index.md) - [Golf Lessons](https://sites.coach/john-babcock/lessons) - [Lessons in Encino](https://sites.coach/john-babcock/areas/encino) - [Balboa Golf Course, Encino](https://sites.coach/john-babcock/locations/balboa-golf-course-encino) - [Agent instructions](https://sites.coach/john-babcock/llms.txt) ## Book through the API John Babcock sells Golf lessons on this site.
