Golf Assessments
Your body determines what your swing can do. Using the Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) body-swing assessment, we identify the physical limitations affecting your swing and injury risk, and help you build an efficient, pain-free swing that best suits you.
The TPI body-swing assessment
The Titleist Performance Institute approach starts from a simple idea: there is no single perfect way to swing a club, but there is an efficient way for your body. Our TPI-accredited assessment combines the TPI movement screen with advanced tools like KangaTech strength testing to map how your physical capabilities interact with your swing mechanics.
What the screen covers
The assessment looks at your swing mechanics and biomechanics, physical fitness, movement quality, health status and injury history. Together these show whether a swing fault is a technique issue for your coach, or a physical restriction, such as limited hip rotation or trunk control, that physiotherapy can change.
Control, power, consistency
Programs built from your assessment focus on three factors:
- Control - knowing where the ball is going
- Power - maximising power with minimal effort
- Consistency - making the swing repeatable and pain-free
Depending on your results, your plan may include targeted physical training, physiotherapy treatment, and guidance that complements work with your swing coach.
Golf and pain
If golf hurts, we investigate whether the pain stems from your swing mechanics or from underlying movement limitations. The lower back, mid-back, neck, hips, knees, elbows and wrists are the areas most commonly affected in golfers, and most respond well once the true driver is identified and addressed.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to be a good golfer to benefit?
No. The assessment is about how your body moves, and golfers of every level, from beginners to low markers, can benefit from removing physical restrictions that limit their swing.
Will you change my golf swing?
We focus on your body rather than your technique. The TPI philosophy is that there is no one perfect swing; we address the physical limitations so you and your coach can build the swing that suits you.
I get back pain when I play. Can this help?
A golf assessment is designed to work out whether pain stems from swing mechanics or movement limitations, which then guides targeted treatment. Back pain is one of the most common issues we see in golfers.
