Golfers who cut their index successfully by five strokes or more planned their improvement. Some comes from technique, some from equipment, some from mental preparation – and a lot from commitment to practice and play. An improvement program that works is balanced.
The goal of Technology Day is to find your strengths, identify your weakness, and create a plan to meet your improvement goals.
First Station: Technique
The key to developing your best swing is balance, tempo and timing. Complete swing analysis includes setup, impact and finish. The Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) certified analysis measures a player’s swing in three dimensions. Motion sensors in the K-Vest compare your swing to PGA Tour standards. Any “power leaks” are identified. Every golfer embarking on a serious game improvement program should take the “K-Vest Test”. Never practice mistakes.
You Learn: A conceptual understanding of your swing motion. Your unique “kinematic sequence” is measured and analyzed for efficiency and power. You receive an estimate of increased distance from improved technique. Remedial drills are suggested if required. The Golf Lab K-Vest Expert is John Taylor, four level TPI Certified.
Second Station: Putting
Putting is 41% of golf.
Fewer “putts per round” is the quickest way to cut strokes. We combine the Edel fitting system, the Science and Motion Putt Lab and the Focus Band for the most complete analysis of your aim, your stance and your stroke.
You Learn: Your aim, your “compensation” and your stroke are analyzed. You will “know your stroke”. Knowing your stroke is the
first step to improved putting. Your alignment, setup, aim, path and tempo are “tested and adjusted”. Loft, lie, length and balance of your putter are matched to your natural stroke. John Ruark leads the “Putting Practice” at the Golf Lab.
Third Station: Equipment
Golf clubs determine a player’s stance and swing motion. We blueprint – length, weight, flex and loft – every club in your bag. Any problem clubs are flagged.
We test the performance of your own six iron and driver. We employ Flightscope radar for our launch monitor technology. Radar looks at the player and the club in motion in addition to the ball – a new dimension in launch monitor analysis. The performance of your clubs is compared to selected test clubs. Any improvement in distance or accuracy from new clubs is discovered. Distance gaps are identified.
You Learn: The complete specifications of your current set. Launch monitor performance of current and test clubs. Recommendations for club modifications, replacements or new models. Random club testing is a waste of time.
