What is TPI?
TPI, or the Titleist Performance Institute, enhances golf performance by assessing a player's physical abilities. It merges biomechanics, fitness, and swing mechanics to develop personalized training. Recognizing each player’s unique strengths, TPI certified professionals evaluate flexibility, strength, balance, and posture. This analysis enables tailored training plans that enhance performance. TPI emphasizes the body-swing connection, promoting informed training that integrates fitness and skill development, serving as a valuable tool and guiding philosophy for golfers at all levels.
TPI’s Mission
TPI’s mission is to educate golfers and industry professionals on the Body-Swing Connection through its one of a kind TPI Certified educational program.
TPI’s Philosophy
TPI believes that golfers should match their swing style to their movement capabilities. The philosophy is 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.”
TPI’s Assessment Screen
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.
