TPI Golf Assessment
What is TPI?
TPI (Titleist Performance Institute) is the world’s leading educational organization dedicated to the study of how the human body functions in relation to the golf swing. For over twenty years, TPI has been assessing and gathering data on all kinds of golfers, from Tour professionals to everyday golfers. Through this data, TPI discovered how a properly functioning body allows a player to swing a golf club in the most efficient way possible. They have also determined that physical limitations in a player's body can adversely affect the golf swing and potentially lead to injury.
TPI’s Philosophy
There are an infinite number of ways to swing a golf club. However, there is one most efficient way for each player to swing a club and it is based on what they can physically do.
TPI’s Movement Assessment
TPI believes: If you don’t assess, it's just a guess! That is why the movement assessment is where we start. To achieve an efficient swing, a golfer must first be screened. A proper screen involves an assessment of current health, injury history, swing mechanics, biomechanics, physical fitness, and movement quality.
The TPI movement assessment is a simple test to quickly evaluate a player’s physical capabilities. The results of that assessment are used to determine how technical elements of the player’s swing could be related to what their body can or cannot do. Once this screen is finished, the results are used to create a plan unique for that golfer. The plan may include fitness training, physical therapy and treatment, coaching of swing mechanics and biomechanics or all of the above.
Who Is It For?
Anyone who plays golf or is thinking about starting. Whether you are a scratch golfer or you just bought your first set of clubs, you will find this assessment to be very useful and beneficial. It is not a “golf lesson” or “coaching session” but rather the focus is on the body and its function, or dysfunction, with regards to the movement of a golf swing.
If you want to see what all the hype around golf is and start a new hobby, get some more distance on your shots, or just want to play golf pain-free, this assessment is for you!
