The New Paradigm of Golf Instruction

Traditionally, golf instruction has relied on received wisdom, folk psychology, trial and error, & ball flight for diagnosing swing errors. Even with 2D Video, golf instructors do not have access to real time quantitative data that could indicate the subtle but important nuances of timing, energy flow, and joint rotation in a golfer’s motion.

Until now, the problem with learning to play golf, apart from its inherent difficulty is that teaching & training methods have not kept pace with technology advances. Over the last 20 years, the average handicap of most amateur golfers has not gone down, even with the advances in equipment & ball technology. This situation has not been the fault of the golfer, but the golfing industries inability to diagnose a player’s weak link, and then embrace the technology to remedy the situation.

Now, with the accuracy of K-VESTS 3D sensor technology and 3D motion analysis, SwingLAB can pinpoint what is holding back your golf game.

Today, we also must think of playing golf in terms of multiple performance factors – e.g., balance, posture, strength, flexibility, co-ordination, stability, mobility, properly fit equipment, playing the game, on-course strategy, full swing, short game, mental approach, caddies, player management, injury prevention and rehabilitation.

This model is more comprehensive, and by its very nature, requires more accurate information about the player. Thus, we need to have a reliable and accurate way of measuring your ability and capacity to perform. Importantly, we need to know the weakest link in your game – whether it is fitness, equipment, or swing related. In other words we need to fix the cause … not the effect.

If we cannot measure accurately, we cannot diagnose accurately. Without precise diagnosis, our efforts become informed trial and error. Ultimately, your performance suffers.
