TPI Assessments

The TPI (Titleist Performance Institute) Screen examines human movement and how your movement restrictions are affecting your golf swing. It focuses on the movement, strength, and flexibility of the human body in relation to striking a golf ball.

I would recommend it for beginners as well as experienced players, which is why I include it in my initial coaching assessments. 

Taking only 20-30 minutes to complete, you get a full report after the assessment and get a specific training plan based on your results. It all comes through an App which is free for any client that has a TPI Assessment with me.

The TPI Movement Screen is a great start for everyone. It is a combination of 16 exercises which are used to assess your current movement capabilities, identify limitations, and provide you with your “Body-Swing” connection. The “Body-Swing” connection is a term coined by TPI which illustrates the link between physical deficiencies and potential swing tendencies, based on their “Big 12” model. The Big 12 swing characteristics TPI have identified are as follows:

• S-Posture
• C-Posture
• Loss of Posture
• Flat Shoulder Plane
• Early Extension
• Over The Top
• Sway
• Slide
• Hanging Back
• Reverse Spine Angle
• Casting
• Chicken Winging

It’s important to note these as tendencies rather than flaws, as great ball strikers have demonstrated some of them, but when done excessively they make high functioning swings more difficult, and may make potential injury more likely.

You can understand why you have certain swing tendencies because of any limitations you may have, from having undertaken the screen, and you will be able to work on improving them to help improve your golf swing.

As you continue to perfect your game, it is recommended to reassess every 6 months.
