How Movement Capabilities, Injury History and Concept Influenced Swing Mechanics in an Elite Amateur

- One of the reasons we’re adamant about diagnostics is that data can paint a picture of what an athlete is doing and, importantly, can give us some clues as to why. Every assessment tells a story.
We always say that if you want to know WHAT an athlete is doing, look at 3D data and 2D video. If you want to know HOW, look at force and pressure. If you want to know WHY they might be doing that, look at how they are able to move (physical screen).
There are infinite factors that help shape why an athlete swings the way they do, but if we had to group them into the three most common buckets they would be movement capabilities, injury history and mental (or concept).
Our recent assessment with Luis Masaveu, one of the top amateurs in the world, was an example of how all three can influence swing mechanics.
Luis is one of the most talented young golfers in the world, ranked 29th in the WAGR. He came to TPI ahead of one of the most pivotal years of his young career in search of his what, how and why. Here’s a look at what we found and how his movement screen, injury history and concept informed our recommendations.

ive always had this problem and no matter what i do what i did i could never fix it. but now im swinging with only left arm and it lines up so much better. this is awesome
Awesome 👏👏 so interesting to find out the root cause and the following sequence. You are doing such a wonderful job Greg and David.
Love these. Keep enlightening us mere mortals. :D
A great holistic view of a movement pattern. Swing changes are tough. In addition, movement synergies are formed (as the arm does x hip moves Y in a related but not fixed manner). Breaking an old undesirable synergy is extremely difficult as they form the basis of coordination in a complex skilled movement.
These are great videos. Thank you
awesome 🙌
As a right handed person who plays golf left handed, I find this rather enlightening.
How do we get one of these analyzations?
What exercises did you recommend him to do? You didn't show them. I'm recovering from a frozen shoulder and would love to know.
Very Hovland vibes
What I don’t understand is , at the end of the video after some searching the player tells you he had a previous injury in the right shoulder in which the response was , well that’s what it is then , right shoulder limitation . But at the very start you screened him and did not pick up on this ? If there was a previous injury or limitation should that not have been found in the initial screening you did . Clearly it wasn’t because you did not see any limitation until the player mentioned an old injury ? If it was due to an old injury would you not expect the driver swing to also cross the line ? It doesn’t make sense that your body has a limitation but it performs well with driver and crosses the line with the irons . If it’s due to body function then it would occur with every club surely . I’m not convinced with the outcome in this video
They spotted the shoulder inside the first 3 mins!
Drivers are a lot lighter than irons, the injury would show up with them
It was a previous injury/limitation from '22 that formed the across the line pattern. He worked on it and solved it. The across the line pattern just stayed.
@@aidangriffiths5075 and has a different swing plane. Driver swing is more flat than an iron swing.
As we say in education....if you are not assessing, you are guessing!
