What A Titleist Performance Institute Movement Screen Can Do For Your Golf Game.

Steve Washburn, PTA, NASM-CPT • November 14, 2023



Are you a golfer looking to increase your distance off the tee or improve the consistency of your ball striking? Maybe you are looking to reduce back pain or the risk of other injuries to maintain your ability to golf? If so, we have the tools to take your game to the next level.


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 gathered the world’s largest technical database of the game’s top Tour professionals as well as every-day golfers. TPI collects 3D motion capture, force, pressure, launch monitor, strength, power, and movement data on every player that visits the TPI campus. Using this data, TPI discovered how a properly functioning body allows a player to swing a golf club in the most efficient way possible. Conversely, TPI determined 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.


The TPI Philosophy is rather simple: 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. To determine this, we have to first assess what your body is physically capable of. This is where the TPI Movement Screen comes into play.


A TPI Movement Screen offers many benefits for golfers looking to increase their performance and/or prevent injuries. Unlike most movement screens, the TPI screen uses the Body-Swing Connection to specifically focus on creating the most efficient swing by identifying common swing faults related to muscle imbalance, range of motion limitations and overall body mechanics. The screen will assess body mechanics, movement quality, physical fitness and health history to provide the tools needed to build the most efficient swing possible. The more efficient your swing is, the better your performance on the course will be. Who wouldn’t want to increase their distance and consistency of their shots? In fact, Twenty-five of the top 30 golfers in the world along with the winners of 18 of the past 20 major championships were TPI advised players. If it's good enough for the PGA Tour, shouldn’t it be good enough for you?


Following the TPI Movement Screen the results are then used to create a plan unique for that golfer. This plan may include fitness training, physical therapy and treatment, coaching of swing mechanics and biomechanics, nutrition, mental strategy or all of the above.


We also include a detailed 4 week fitness plan with your assessment to address any limitations found, as well as increase muscle strength and stability, to achieve a more powerful, consistent and efficient swing.
