Swing technique and style are unique to each player. Zenolink 3D Biomechanics helps capture that uniqueness and every nuance of your movement pattern including: true angle of every body segment, forward bend, side bend, velocities and accelerations both linear and angular club speeds at any point in the swing. Especially important is the kinematic sequence, which is the graphical representation of the different segments of the body relative to one another in motion. The Zenolink evaluation includes a physical diagnostic process to identify any physical limitations. I correlate the findings of both reports and create a custom golf specific trainnig program.
Step 1 ZenoLinkReport: ZenoLink is a diagnostic tool designed to provide information about functional performance during the golf swing. Data produced by ZenoLink testing quantifies both performance and injury potential through 3D biomechanical measurements that include joint ROM, body segment coordination and outcome parameters. Data is sent to ZenoLink in form of video(analog video tapes). The video is digitized into 3D data producing an analysis report. The report is then available through a secured web accout. ZenoLink was designed for the clinician: physical therapist, chiropractor, trainer. Lou Solarte is currently one of a few PGA Professionals in the United States using this technology. So many times, good teaching is laid upon a foundation of faulty or poor dynamic swing patterns. With the information ZenoLink provides I can Identify faulty swing movement patterns and train the body thru dynamic trainning concepts to move more efficiently and limit injury parameters.
Step 2 Lou Solarte is a certified TPI/Advantage Golf Fitness Instructor, he finished his level 2 Training in 2002. Lou understands the performance factors that determine a golfers physical foundation and how to effectively evaluate and identify any limiting factors through a quick functional 12 step screen test, each step helps predict a common swing fault. Lou then prescribes customized exercises to help eliminate physical limitations for better: postural stabilization, balance, mobility and increase functional strength.
Level 1 Screen
Video Evaluation - The combination of Zenolink and 2-D Video is the best way of measuring biomechanical faults and help visualize physical limitation. We correlate video And 3d evaluations with physical exam Finding.
Physical Exam - The Level 1 screen involves 12 tests on the 4 physical performance factors, these are the skills one needs to optimize performance, these performance factors can be barriers to proper technique and involve joints, muscles, nerves, organs or combinations of each.
TPI Philosophy
There are six factors involved in a solid golf game: Basic Instruction, Shot Making, Physical Conditioning, Equipment Fitting, Course Management, and Mental Conditioning.
There are multiple physical Performance factors that determine one's physical potential.
By screening these performance factors, determining one's strengths and weaknesses, and designing a customized fitness program, you can dramatically improve a golfers performance.
Performance Factors
Posture - Crossed Syndromes
Mobility - Dynamic Flexibility
Stability - Body Control
Endurance - Cardiovascular
By screening these performance factors thru the 12 tests we determine a golfers strengths and weaknesses and design a customized web based fitness program from a menu of hundreds of functional exercises.
Step 3 get to work:
I've designed the Zenolink winter pakages with 6 hours of instruction and 2 Zenolink reports. The first report creates a baseline for our trainning, we then meet for our 6 one hour sessions then at the end of winter trainning we use the second report to evaluate progress. The fitness evaluation and program are included in the Winter Zenolink Package.
ZenoLink - Zenolink evaluations must be scheduled in advance. The initial session is 15 minutes in length, we video tape at the first session. After your report is posted on the internet we will meet online for a one hour report evaluations.
Price: Report and one hour session $225
Winter ZenoLink Package - 2 Zenolink reports and six hours of instruction $775.
TPI Fitness program - Personalized 18 session web based TPI fitness program $150.00 (initial session only)
