The Own your motion golf process

We begin with a dynamic warm-up to prepare your body and mind, ensuring you’re in an optimal state for accurate data collection. This includes light mobility exercises, dynamic stretches, and a few easy swings to activate key muscle groups and neural pathways.

Next, we capture your baseline performance by having you hit a series of shots using Trackman technology. This radar-based system tracks critical metrics like ball speed, launch angle, spin rate, club path, face angle, and carry distance. By analyzing 20-30 shots across various clubs (e.g., driver, irons, wedges), we establish a clear snapshot of your current swing efficiency, consistency, and outcomes. This data serves as your starting point, highlighting strengths and areas for improvement without any initial coaching interference.

 With your baseline data in hand, our experts dive into the analysis. We review Trackman reports alongside video footage to pinpoint movement patterns that lead to suboptimal results—such as slices, hooks, fat shots, or loss of distance. This involves examining biomechanical factors like hip rotation, shoulder tilt, weight transfer, and sequencing, as well as neural inefficiencies (e.g., how motor commands from your brain’s primary motor cortex translate into inconsistent muscle activation).

We categorize issues into root causes, such as poor postural alignment or delayed neural firing, to create a targeted roadmap. This step ensures we’re addressing the “why” behind bad outcomes, not just symptoms, for more effective rewiring.

 Before introducing new patterns, we recalibrate your body to a neutral, receptive state. This phase focuses on optimizing your physical foundation so your brain can efficiently process and integrate new information. Techniques include:

•  Myofascial release and mobility drills to eliminate restrictions in key areas like the hips, thoracic spine, and shoulders.

•  Proprioceptive exercises to enhance body awareness and sensory feedback.

•  Breathing and mindfulness techniques to reduce tension and improve the body-brain connection, drawing on principles from neuroplasticity to prime your nervous system for change.
The goal is to create a “clean slate” where your body is balanced and ready, minimizing resistance to new motor learning.

Now, we introduce our foundational 3-2-1-Go Protocols to establish repetitive actions that foster clear communication between your brain and body. This structured approach uses sensory cues and deliberate practice to build neural pathways:

•  Three: Perform three isolated movements with external cues (e.g., using alignment rods or mirrors) to focus on foundational elements like setup and posture.

•  Two: Execute two partial swings, emphasizing feel and rhythm to strengthen initial neural connections.

•  One: Complete one rehearsal swing, integrating the cues for smoother coordination.

•  Go: Hit the ball, applying the sequence in a full motion to reinforce brain-body synergy.
This protocol promotes consistency through repetition, leveraging the cerebellum’s role in automating movements and reducing cognitive overload.

 Building on the foundation, we transition to the streamlined 2-1-Go Protocols to minimize the workload on your brain and body while embedding new patterns more efficiently. This shortened version accelerates neuroplasticity by focusing on high-quality reps:

•  Two: Two focused motions with visual or tactile cues (e.g., alignment markers or resistance bands) to hone specific swing elements like hip turn or release.

•  One: A single practice swing to internalize the feel and build stronger neural links in the motor cortex.

•  Go: The full execution, embedding the pattern into unconscious competence via cerebellar reinforcement.
By reducing steps, this protocol shortens the time needed for your brain to adapt, often leading to noticeable improvements in swing efficiency within sessions.

To ensure long-term retention, we design a personalized practice plan that incorporates the protocols and drills into dedicated training sessions. This includes:

•  Daily or weekly schedules with specific rep counts, rest intervals, and progression markers.

•  At-home exercises blending 3-2-1-Go and 2-1-Go with tools like mirrors, video recording apps, or simple props.

•  Integration with on-course play to transfer skills from the range to real games.

•  Guidance on tracking subjective feel (e.g., journals) alongside objective metrics (e.g., app-based swing analyzers).
The plan emphasizes quality over quantity, using neuroplasticity principles to space practice for optimal memory consolidation.

 After completing your initial training sessions (typically 1-6 weeks), we return to the lab for follow-up assessments. You’ll repeat the warm-up and Trackman shot series to measure changes in key metrics, such as improved club path consistency or increased ball speed.

We discuss what’s working (e.g., reduced slice frequency) and what needs tweaking (e.g., fine-tuning a specific protocol). This iterative cycle includes video comparisons, neural feedback reviews, and plan refinements to sustain progress. Ongoing support ensures your swing evolves with you, preventing regression and promoting continuous gains.
