Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) Golf Assessments

Move Better. Swing Better. Play Longer.

Your golf swing is only as efficient as the body behind it. A TPI Assessment is designed to identify the physical limitations, mobility restrictions, stability deficits, and movement patterns that may be affecting your golf swing, consistency, power, or contributing to pain.

Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) certified, athletic therapist, Cody Bartel, uses the TPI screening process to bridge the gap between movement, performance, and injury prevention.

Whether you are a competitive golfer, weekend player, junior athlete, or someone simply looking to enjoy the game pain-free, a TPI Assessment provides a personalized roadmap to help improve how your body moves throughout the golf swing.

What Is a TPI Assessment?

The Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) is the world’s leading educational organization studying how the body influences the golf swing.

  • 18 of the last 20 Major Championships were won by players advised by a TPI Certified Expert
  • 25 of the top 30 players in the World Rankings are advised by a TPI Certified Expert

A TPI Assessment is a golf-specific movement screen that evaluates:

  • Mobility
  • Stability
  • Balance
  • Coordination
  • Strength
  • Rotational control
  • Posture and setup mechanics

Research shows there is no single “perfect” golf swing. Instead, the most effective swing is one that matches the golfer’s physical capabilities.

The goal of the assessment is to identify how your body may be influencing swing characteristics, consistency, distance, and injury risk.

What to Expect During Your Assessment

Your assessment is a comprehensive one-on-one session that includes:

  1. Initial Conversation & Golf History
  2. Physical Screening A series of 16 golf-specific movement tests are used to assess:
    • Hip mobility
    • Thoracic spine rotation
    • Shoulder mobility
    • Core control
    • Single-leg balance
    • Pelvic stability
    • Overhead movement patterns
    • Rotational sequencing
  3. Swing Characteristic Review Movement findings are connected to common swing characteristics such as:
    • Early Extension
    • Loss of Posture
    • Reverse Spine Angle
    • S-Posture
    • Chicken Winging
    • Sway or Slide
  4. Personalized Plan Following the assessment, you will receive:
