Your instructor can tell you what to do. Only your body can actually do it. When physical limitations are holding back your swing, no amount of lessons will fix what training can — and that is exactly where TPI-certified performance coaching comes in.
Start Your TPI AssessmentMost golfers spend thousands on lessons, equipment, and range time chasing a better swing — and still plateau. The reason is almost always the same: the body cannot get into the positions the instructor is asking for. You can understand the move perfectly and still be physically unable to do it.
Hip, thoracic, and shoulder restrictions are some of the most common physical limiters in the golf swing. If your body cannot rotate fully, your swing compensates every time.
Distance is a product of speed, and speed is a product of strength and sequencing. Without the physical foundation to generate and transfer force, you are leaving yards on the table permanently.
Repetitive swing faults caused by physical limitations lead to overuse injuries. Back pain, hip tightness, and shoulder issues are not just inconveniences — they are warning signs.
The Titleist Performance Institute is the world's leading educational organization dedicated to the study of how the human body functions in relation to the golf swing. TPI has studied over 50,000 golfers across all levels — from recreational players to major champions — and developed a screening system that identifies exactly which physical limitations are affecting your game.
A TPI-certified coach conducts a movement screen that evaluates mobility, stability, strength, and motor control across the specific patterns golf demands. The result is a clear picture of what your body can and cannot do — and a training plan designed to fix it.
Zac earned his TPI Level 1 certification and combines it with 15 years of full-time strength and conditioning expertise. This is not a generic fitness program with a golf label on it — it is a targeted, individualized approach built around your body and your game.
The TPI process is straightforward and built around your specific needs from the very first session.
A comprehensive TPI movement assessment evaluates your mobility, stability, and strength across 16 physical screens. We identify exactly which physical limitations are present and how they are showing up in your swing.
A fully customized training program built around your screen results, your current fitness level, and your golf goals. Targeted mobility work, strength training, and power development — all specific to what your body and game actually need.
As your body improves, the program evolves. Regular reassessments track progress, and the training adjusts to keep pushing you forward. The goal is lasting physical improvement that shows up every time you tee it up.
