“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 (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.

    Using this data, TPI discovered how a properly functioning body allows a player to swing a golf club in the most efficient way possible.

    TPI determines how physical limitations in a player’s body can adversely affect the golf swing and potentially lead to injury.

    This relationship is what TPI calls The Body-Swing Connection and is the foundation of all professional Certification courses offered by TPI.

  • “If you don’t assess, it’s just a guess.”

    To achieve an efficient swing, a golfer must first be screened. A proper screen involves an assessment of swing mechanics, biomechanics, physical fitness, movement quality, current health, and injury history.

    The TPI movement screen 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, nutrition, mental strategy or all of the above.
