Titleist Performance Institute For Golf in Knoxville

The Titleist Performance Institute “TPI” is the leading organization and one of the best programs dedicated to the study of how the human body functions in relation to the golf swing.  TPI has studied thousands of golfers ranging from top Tour professionals to weekend enthusiasts to utilize this data to determine how a properly functioning body allows a player to swing the golf club in the most efficient way.  The program diagnoses how functional limitations can adversely affect the golf swing and potentially lead to injury.

TPI does not believe in one way to swing the golf club, rather an infinite number of swing styles, but TPI does believe there is one most efficient way for every player to swing based on what the player can do physically.

As these limitations improve it will help you to swing the golf club more efficiently and decrease the risk of injury.
