Golf Performance · Guide
A TPI screen shows exactly how your body is helping — or limiting — your golf swing. Here is what it is, what happens in one, and whether you need it.

TPI stands for the Titleist Performance Institute, the organization that has studied how the body and the golf swing work together more than anyone else. A TPI screen is a series of simple physical tests — a movement assessment — that reveals how well your body can do the things an efficient golf swing requires: rotate, stabilize, and produce force.
Every swing fault has two possible causes: you don't know how to make the move, or your body physically can't. A TPI screen tells you which. If your hips can't separate from your shoulders, no amount of "clear your hips" will fix it. The screen finds the physical limitation first, so your training — and your lessons — aim at the right target.
Each result connects to specific swing characteristics, so you leave knowing the physical reasons behind your patterns.
This is the part most golfers never see described. In a CoachZT assessment, Zac walks you through the physical screens, explains what each result means for your swing, and then builds a training program around your specific restrictions. You don't get a generic workout — you get a plan aimed at the exact things holding your game back. It takes about an hour and gives you a clear roadmap forward.
If you want to add distance, swing more efficiently, stop getting hurt, or finally make a lesson stick, yes. Juniors building an athletic base, competitive players chasing speed, and senior golfers protecting mobility all start here. You can be screened in person in Bloomington-Normal or remotely from anywhere.
TPI stands for the Titleist Performance Institute, which studies how the body and the golf swing work together and certifies coaches to screen and train golfers.
About an hour. You go through the physical screens, learn what each result means for your swing, and leave with a training plan built around your specific limitations.
No. A lesson works on swing technique. A TPI screen assesses your body — the physical foundation under the swing — and guides the fitness training that supports your lessons.
Yes. A guided version can be done remotely: you record the movements following instructions, and your coach evaluates them and builds your program from the results.
Any golfer who wants more distance, a more efficient swing, fewer injuries, or better results from lessons — from juniors to senior golfers.
