What Is a TPI Movement Screen, and Why Golfers Need One
If your golf swing feels inconsistent, limited, or painful, then it might be a movement issue more than
a technique problem. A TPI Movement Screen helps identify exactly what’s holding your swing back.
What Is a TPI Movement Screen?
The Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) screen is a quick series of tests that evaluates how well your
body moves in ways that matter for golf. It looks at:
• Mobility
• Stability
• Balance
• Core control
• Rotation
• Golf-specific movement patterns
These tests highlight any movement restrictions or compensations that could affect your power,
consistency, or comfort during the swing.
Why Does It Matter?
Golf is a full-body sport. If one area is tight or weak, your body compensates. This often leads to:
• Lost distance
• Reduced consistency
• Difficulty rotating
• Early extension or posture issues
• Back, hip, or shoulder discomfort
A TPI screen shows how your body is influencing your swing so you can fix the root cause, not just
the symptoms.
Common Benefits of a TPI Screen:
• More distance through better mobility and sequencing
• Improved consistency with fewer compensations
• Reduced injury risk
• Faster progress in golf lessons
• Personalized exercises tailored to your movement profile
Who Is It For?
Golfers of all levels. Beginners to competitive players often benefit from the screen.
