We except people who aren’t major championship winners too!

We golfers are doing our bit!

Padraig’s improvement isn’t just a testament to hard work, but to the importance of working on the right things.

In our experience, golfers who don’t see progress are often directing their own practice or training without addressing the physical characteristics or mechanics that actually drive performance changes.

Hard work doesn’t always equal smart work. Hire a coach, fitness or medical professional who can help.

The importance of club head speed…..

Viktor Hovland’s advice to his younger self.

Speed is a skill. Don’t wait to develop it.

Viktor’s clubhead speed has steadily increased since turning pro, up over 3 mph since his rookie season.

For those who aren’t aware, the TPI (Titleist Performance Institute) is the world’s leading educational organisation for golf health and fitness. Since the inception in 2003, thousands of touring professionals, amateurs and weekend golfers have been assessed and helped by the TPI. At one time, 26/30 of the world’s best golfers had been assessed with a TPI screen and I imagine it is close to 30/30 now. The screen involves assessing a golfer’s flexibility, strength and stability (all of which are essential for the golf swing). This is done by performing 16 tests. From here you can understand how your body functions for golf. Below details 3 reasons why a TPI screening process is essential for golf performance.

1. Injury reduction

Anyone that has taken time off golf because of an injury will tell you how disappointing it is. While your friends or competition are playing, you are stuck mending your body. A big part of the screening process is understanding your body’s limitations and how you move. With this information the assessor can give you information that may prevent an injury in the future. For example, swing positions such as early extension, sliding and chicken winging all have higher likelihoods of causing future problems. Or if you have mobility limitations in your hips or thoracic spine, we know by research that this can create excess pressure on your lower back. By having this information, you can then rectify the issues you have and decrease your chances of injury.

2. Speed development

Speed development comes from a number of attributes. The main attributes being flexibility, rotational speed, and power/strength. By having a TPI screen you can discover exactly what your body is capable of. Despite speed being one of the main features of better players, some people want to discount its importance. On average, a scratch golfer has a club head speed of 106 MPH and a high single figure handicap golfer has a speed of 97 MPH. As swing speed drops off, so does scoring average. If this isn’t enough information, there is a direct correlation to swing speed and money earnings on the pga tour. So by having your TPI screen you can discover what may be limiting your speed and create a plan.

3. Performance improvement

With decreased chances of injury and increased speed, it’s a no-brainer that your performance will improve. Another important feature of better players is their consistency. The best players in the world swing very similarly day in day out. A large part of this comes down to their bodies. If you lack strength, flexibility or balance, your movement will no doubt be unpredictable. This will lead to a range of compensations and poor swings. By having good movement, you can then create good swings.

Here at the Academy we carry out these screens all of the time and include it as part of your membership - contact us on 0429 343005 or message us here to see how we can help your game
