Dr. Rob Neal - A Journey Through the Ages (Part I)
"Developing an Effective Swing: Teenager to Adulthood" is how Dr. Rob Neal titled his presentation. It was marked by a multi-year tracking of the progress he's experienced in working with talented juniors especially as their bodies developed and their expectations for their own progress brought tension to the learning process. Speed and stability received much attention, and tended to be in opposition to each other. Athletic juniors "can be all speed" and lacking the body mass needed to maintain a good architecture throughout the full swing.

Nick Clearwater - The SwingTRU Motion Study - How Big Data is Improving Golf Instruction
Proponent Group member Nick Clearwater, is Vice President of Instruction for GolfTEC and one of Golf Digest"?"??s Best Young Teachers in America.
'?
Today Nick is going to pull back the curtain and show us how the data collected from millions of GOLFTEC lessons can improve your instruction immediately.
Empirical data on a large scale that defines how golfers of different handicaps move during the swing is nearly impossible to find within golf instruction.
The kinematic study conducted by GOLFTEC, coined the "SwingTRU Motion Study," is the first and only of its kind to combine a large sample of golfers and their associated body motions.
GolfTEC's Patrick Nuber also assists with the presentation.
Recorded at the 2017 PGA Show.
