The Academy Teaches It. WM Track Proves It’s Working.
Every module in the Academy curriculum has a measurable counterpart in WM Track. Work through the Technique Builder, then see your strike data improve in your session scores. Study Bunker Play, then track whether your SG from sand is moving in the right direction. Follow a training plan, then watch your WM Score climb.
This is what makes WedgeMatrix different from a video platform. The learning and the measuring are connected — and both are included in your membership from day one.
01 — LEARN
The Academy
The Academy’s curriculum covers every aspect of the short game — technique, strategy, trouble shots, and more. Structured plans take you from where you are to where you want to be.

I’ve worked with James on my short game for 3 years, and his insights into my tendencies have been invaluable. He’s helped me manage and improve my game in a practical way. I still have much to learn, but I’m grateful to have access to what I believe is the best short game coach in the world.
