Every golfer has to put in the work, but as coaches and trainers, our job is to make sure they’re working on the right things.
Fitness Level 3 is designed to sharpen that decision-making. Over three days of hands on learning, you’ll work directly with Dr. Greg Rose, Dave Phillips, Lance Gill, Jason Glass, Chris Finn and Janet Alexander, practicing strategies for developing mobility, stability, strength and power.
Fitness Level 3 is just six weeks away. Join us November 6th - 8th in Oceanside. Space is limited. mytpi.com/certification/fitn…

If your rib cage is limiting your rotation, deep breathing can be a cheat code for improving mobility.
Distraction is one of the techniques we teach in our advanced Fitness courses to address joint restrictions. As Dr. Rose demonstrates here, deep breathing is our favorite strategy to “distract” the rib joints and improve thoracic mobility.
Our next Fitness Level 3 is November 6th - 8th at TPI HQ in Oceanside. Join us to learn the assessment and training techniques used by some of the world’s leading fitness professionals.

Some background on how and why we assess the visual system in golf (with a preview of our advanced Golf Certification content) mytpi.com/articles/swing/why…
How a golfer sees the target can influence how they set up to it.
As Dr. Rose explains, same-side dominant players tend to putt with the ball slightly farther back and their stance slightly open. These preferences can help them see the ball and hole more comfortably.
We teach simple visual system assessments in our Golf and Medical Level 3 seminars because they help us understand why a golfer might favor a particular setup.
The better we understand why a golfer does something, the better we can determine what, if anything, needs to change.

Many golfers are wearing shoes that are too long because they’ve added length when they actually needed more width.
We’ve tested hundreds of golfers on force plates, and shoe fit is a detail worth checking. If the foot slides forward excessively inside the shoe, it can affect both the amount and timing of force a golfer applies to the ground.

Three different lines. The same movement.
Each of these lines could be used to assess sway, but each tracks a different point.
As Dr. Rose demonstrates, the pelvis center can move away from the target during rotation while the trail hip and knee remain relatively stable.
Looking at one line without context could lead to a different conclusion about the golfer’s movement.

We’re as big proponents of 3D data as anyone in sports, but poor interpretation of good data can lead to bad conclusions.
A common issue we see is confusing movement of the pelvis center with excessive sway when reviewing 3D data.
As Dr. Rose demonstrates, we track sway at the center of the pelvis, but also at the trail hip and trail knee. Because of the pelvis’s elliptical shape, its center can move away from the target during rotation while the trail hip and knee remain relatively stable.
These lines track different points during the same movement.

Stance width can influence how much horizontal plane torque a golfer creates because a wider stance can increase the moment arm, allowing the same amount of force to produce more torque.
That doesn’t mean every golfer should widen their stance or try to create a larger moment arm. The goal for a coach is to understand how a golfer’s technique influences their distance potential and recognize when it might be limiting speed.

More info on our Medical Level 3 seminar. It will sell out in advance of the Dec 11 - 13th event mytpi.com/certification/medi…
"Rookies chase pain."
The SFMA is a diagnostic strategy that helps medical providers identify movement limitations that may contribute to a patient’s pain.
As Dr. Rose explains, dysfunctional, non-painful patterns can offer valuable clues for how altered motor control could be related to pain.
The SFMA is an integral part of our Medical track. The Medical Level 2 online course also includes SFMA Level 1 Certification, and our Medical Level 3 seminar includes SFMA Level 2 Certification.
Our next Medical Level 3 seminar is December 11–13 in Oceanside. Three days of hands-on assessment, treatment strategies and practical diagnostics with Dr. Greg Rose, Dave Phillips and Dr. Michael Voight.
Only a few seats remain.

Too much wrist set can add speed and spin that make distance control more difficult.
Dave Phillips demonstrates how to adjust your setup and takeaway to help limit excess hinge on flighted wedges.

More spin isn’t always better on distance wedges.
Dave Phillips explains how too much wrist set can add unwanted speed and spin and why elite players often try to reduce wrist set to improve distance control.

When “casting” isn’t a bad thing.
In 3D data from a full swing, we should see the arms reach higher rotational velocities than the trunk. But finesse wedges, including greenside bunker shots, call for a different pattern.
As Dr. Rose explains, releasing the club early can reduce arm speed, causing the trunk and arms to move at similar speeds. For finesse shots, casting works in the golfer's favor.
It’s an example of how we organize movement differently when the task demands precision over power.
