Introducing... BirdieGolf PT
Titleist Performance Institute Certified Golf Assessment and Sports Performance
​
The Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) is the world's leading educational organization dedicated to the study of how the human body functions in relation to the golf swing. For over twenty years, TPI has gathered the world’s largest technical database of the game’s top Tour professionals as well as everyday golfers. To do this, TPI uses 3D motion capture, force, pressure, launch monitor, strength, power, and movement data on every player that visits the TPI campus in Oceanside, CA. Using this data, TPI continues to learn how a properly functioning body will allow for limitations that can adversely affect the golf swing and potentially lead to injury.
This relationship is what TPI calls The Body-Swing Connection - This is the foundation of all Professional Certification courses offered by
Titleist Performance Institute.
The TPI Mission
The TPI Mission is to educate golfers and industry professionals on the
Body-Swing Connection
through its one of a kind
TPI Certified educational program.
The TPI Philosophy
The Titleist Performance Institute believes that golfers should match their swing style to their movement capabilities.
The philosophy is simple:
​
There are an infinite number of
ways to swing a golf club.
However, there is one most-efficient way
for each player to swing a club
and it is based on what
they can physically do.
The TPI Assessment Screen
“If you don’t assess, it’s just a guess.”
​
To achieve an efficient swing, a golfer must first be screened. A proper screen involves an assessment of swing mechanics, biomechanics, physical fitness, movement quality, current health, and injury history.
​
The TPI movement screen is a simple test to quickly evaluate a player’s physical capabilities. The results of that assessment are used to determine how technical elements of the player’s swing could be related to what their body can or cannot do.
​
Once this screen is finished, the results are used to create a plan unique for that golfer.
The plan may include fitness training,
physical therapy and treatment, coaching of swing mechanics and biomechanics, nutrition, mental strategy, or all the above.
