Visiting the Titleist Performance Institute Feat. D.J., Casey, and Cody

This place charges $350 an hour.

Came back to me and offered to do the initial screening and 4 half hour sessions for 700. Its not the total price so much as the 350/hour i just cant seem to stomach.

Shaq: You’re mad about the 350 but it’s only a half hour session. Once you come back for another session you pay another 175 and you got a full hour. Simple math, Kenny.

I have two jobs that I do TPI assessments as a service and programs at and I can confirm is an absolute ridiculous price. Unless they have a bunch of other assessment tools and data points to add to the TPI piece it’s not worth that amount

I finally watched Neil’s video with Dr Rose and I had the exact same default pattern as Neil, like to the T. I’ve fought it and manipulated it in a million ways but the electric fence feel is incredible.

@MerchCzar Thank you for having that same miss pattern. I’d love to chat briefly about electric fence and keeping the power plugged in. Did you instantly feel an insane rotation that you’ve never felt?

Also @Cody pure move man.

I sent an email to Dr. Rose about how he demonstrates (and perhaps understands) the “rock” (rock-n-roll) part. I’m not going to say much about it here until after he responds, but I’ve talked to a number of other biomechanists, so I’m feeling good about it.

Very curious to this thread. I’m fascinated by these videos. The electric fence feel was so freeing in my ability to rotate.

I did my Level 1 TPI review and let’s hear it for being a 26 handicap physically but 3.8 handicap golf ability!

How was the experience? Considering doing it.

Obv it won’t be as good as the videos but what did they put you through?

There was no swing analysis but it was a full hour of physical testing (nothing to break a sweat) and then talking about results and stretching options.

Long story short (it was the wrong guy-uy)…

Dr. Rose often demonstrates the “rock” part by tipping his torso/chest back, but having talked with a number of biomechanists and doing some measurements myself, I’m moderately confident the majority of the frontal plane torque comes from the motion of the arms/hands/club “lowering”. The body does eventually get into right side bend/tilt, but it’s not moving that way rapidly early in the downswing. What is moving that direction early in the downswing… are the arms/hands/club.

This makes more sense. So the feel would be recentering move, lower arms, rotate, jump

Question for ya. When he demonstrates the feel of plugging in the chest to the belly button (the extension cord analogy) at what point does the golfer feel that release? Is that a connection one maintains throughout the entire swing? Does the jump part end up disconnecting the plug?

It rules how people like Dr. Greg Rose were getting us to the moon in the 1960s and now they’re micro-dissecting golf swing biomechanics.

5 minutes in. Genuinely impressed at the body comp Tron has / maintains with his physical limitations and self-professed non-activity. It’s not common to innately eat as calorically-neutral as he appears to.
