Medical Level 3 underway at TPI HQ.

Some of the best practitioners in golf getting better.

@bhughesgolf @REDEMPTION_GOLF we don’t follow you, didn’t steal anything. Cool that it seems like there are shared ideas though. 👍

[TPI @MyTPI]

Many golfers who come over the top have transition backwards. They feel like the downswing starts with rotation, so they spin open from the top, throwing the club out and over the plane. Hello, slice.

The fix isn’t no rotation. It’s better sequence. Starting the downswing with a lateral move toward the target not only shifts pressure into the lead side, it helps shallow the club.

Now rotation becomes an asset. With the club shallow, a player can rotate as aggressively as they want and the path stays on plane. The lateral shift earns the right to turn hard.

This is one of the ways we teach coaches to use force plate data in our advanced seminars. When we see an over-the-top pattern and lateral force is low or late, we start cues from the ground up.

@mts00716 Yes, we measure with a grip pressure device. Guess which hand is more active?

[TPI @MyTPI]

There’s not one “right” way to swing a golf club.

Dave Phillips breaks down a bowed vs. cupped lead wrist and explains why a golfer should understand their own movement capabilities before copying a swing they see on TV.

A bowed lead wrist tends to deloft the club and add forward shaft lean, which can be advantageous on iron shots. However, with the driver, a bowed wrist may require more side bend through impact to deliver enough loft and launch.

Which means wrist position can place very different demands on the body. That’s why we screen a golfer’s movement first, before making technical recommendations.

[TPI @MyTPI]

@mts00716 Interesting. Not how we see it. We believe that the lead hand drives

[TPI @MyTPI]

“If you had to let go of a hand during the swing, which hand would you let go of?”

Loved seeing our friend and @OnBaseU instructor @yager20 featured on @CBSMornings.

A reminder of the lasting impact we can have on the people we coach and train.

[TPI @MyTPI]

@bubbascaddie @bencranegolf Looks athletic, for sure! Wouldn’t have a lot of confidence estimating timing or magnitude of GRF from a video, unfortunately. Anyone in your area have a force plate?

[TPI @MyTPI]

“I saw a 5 mph increase like that.”

@bencranegolf describing how learning to unweight in transition helped him generate higher ground reaction forces on the downswing, resulting in an immediate jump in clubhead speed.

Ben’s journey to 120 mph has also included serious physical and speed training, but this change is an example of how encouraging a more athletic swing can produce instant speed.

Fitting clubs that are too long and too heavy is one of the most common mistakes we see, especially with junior golfers.

[TPI @MyTPI]

Club fitting must be married with instruction. A golfer adapts to whatever is in their hands, so poorly fit clubs can train compensations that a lesson might have to fight.

When the fitting is dialed in, the coaching and the clubs are able to pull in the same direction.

As Dave Phillips says, "Make sure your clubs are working toward where you want to go, not stopping you from where you want to go."

[TPI @MyTPI]

You can’t stabilize your way out of a mobility problem. If the hip won’t rotate, the body is likely to steal that rotation from somewhere else.

In this case, the site of discomfort might be the lower back, but the “cause” is the hip.

The answer isn’t more core stability, it’s hip mobility. Assess, don’t guess.

Kicking off our Medical Level 3 seminar this Friday. Our next M3 seminar runs December 11–13.

@b_dee62346 Rai is incredible but hits one more fairway per round than Crane. Ben’s ability to add speed is an excellent display of his elite skill.

[TPI @MyTPI]

@b_dee62346 64% would be top 20 on the PGA TOUR this year. Henley is the leader at 71%.

[TPI @MyTPI]

@b_dee62346 Why would you say that? He’s still plenty accurate. Playing great golf at 50.

[TPI @MyTPI]

@patrocity428 @bencranegolf When he’s squatting down in transition, his vertical force becomes less than one times body weight because he is moving towards the ground slightly faster than the force of gravity

[TPI @MyTPI]

@karangetang How so?

It's never too late to get faster. ⚡️

@bencranegolf added 10+ mph of clubhead speed in his late 40s through dedicated training and swing development. We just posted a short lesson with him on our YouTube channel detailing how unweighting in transition allowed him to push against the ground more effectively, producing a huge jump in his speed.

The result? Three top 10s on the PGA TOUR Champions in just eight starts, culminating in his first win on Sunday.
