More About GolfTEC

GolfTEC works on the philosophy that, “If you have fundamentally sound Technique, properly fit Equipment and are in good physical and mental Condition, you’ll play your best golf.” This philosophy is reflected in the TEC part of the GolfTEC name. While a comprehensive approach maximizes a golfer’s performance, the heaviest emphasis remains on Technique.

Until recently, computer-assisted golf instruction was reserved for the PGA Touring Pros. But GolfTEC provides golfers of all skill levels the opportunity to improve their games through the use of digital video, impact analysis, biofeedback technology and motion-capture computers. A golf swing happens at over 100 miles an hour. The GolfTEC instruction method equips the Certified Personal Coaches with scientific data recorded on sophisticated, patented equipment so they can see critical details in the swing – elements that the naked eye just can’t catch.

During a lesson, GolfTEC students wear a small harness with sensors that measure the golfer’s key movements throughout the swing. A Certified Personal Coach analyzes that information and compares it to a database of 150 top PGA Tour players. The client gets instant feedback to achieve ideal swing parameters, and can review the lesson repeatedly with specific follow-up drills and notes through their personalized WebLesson®.

The GolfTEC g-SWING system includes:

• An interactive Digital Video Computer System that records a swing at various angles and provides an instant swing analysis for immediate and easy to visualize study and improvement.
• A Motion Analysis Computer System, similar to animated feature film production, uses motion sensors to measure 24 key swing components, including shoulder turn and hip rotation. That data is then compared to more than 150 PGA and LPGA Professionals, many of whom are currently on the major PGA or LPGA Tour circuit.
• Certified Personal Coaches who are certified by the Professional Golf Association of America and GolfTEC University, which builds upon PGA training with 80 additional hours of hands-on instructional education through GolfTEC.
• Biofeedback Reinforcement which measures and incorporates auditory signals of the golfer's swing against a set of ideal swing parameters.
• An Impact Analysis which provides accurate course ball flight and the club-impact face angle.
• A patented, web-based WebLesson® that dramatically increases the student’s retention ability. It includes the student’s before-and-after video of each lesson, the instructor’s comments and notes, plus prescription video practice drills that supports each individual lesson. The online component allows students to access their video footage and practicetechniques from anywhere in the world.
• A conditioning program designed in conjunction with the Titleist® Performance Institute system, one of the golf industry’s leading conditioning companies. The revolutionary approach improves overall flexibility, core strength and balance specific to the game of golf.
• The most "bang for your buck" as improvement time decreases dramatically with our system making the game more funand enjoyable.
• By partnering with Sycamore Creek, students can take what they've learned in the studio and apply new learning to real course conditions through grass practice range instruction and playing lessons.
