Golf Performance Assessment
Biomechanics + force data + coaching - built for golfers who want measurable improvement
Golf is a technical sport, but it’s also a full-body power and sequencing problem. At XONE Performance, our Golf-Specific Testing Protocol is designed to evaluate everything that drives performance on the course: movement quality, swing mechanics, force transfer, short game execution, and perceptual skill. We combine advanced biomechanical technology with instruction from a PGA of Canada Professional to create a complete, data-driven performance profile, and a clear pathway to improve.
What This Golf Assessment Measures
This assessment captures how golfers:
- Load and coil through the body
- Transfer force from the ground into the club
- Sequence the pelvis, trunk, and shoulders
- Maintain stability and control under speed
- Perform across putting, short game, irons, and driver
Using our movement methodology, we identify the exact factors limiting:
- Power
- Consistency
- Accuracy
- Longevity and injury resilience
What’s Included in the Golf-Specific Testing Protocol
This is not a single swing video review, it’s a full performance system.
1. Athletic Movement Screen (DARI Motion)
We begin with a full-body movement assessment using DARI 3D markerless motion capture.
This identifies:
- Mobility and stability limitations
- Coordination and motor control patterns
- Side-to-side asymmetries
- Injury risk factors that affect swing mechanics
2. Full Swing Biomechanics Analysis (DARI Motion)
We assess:
- Pelvis and trunk sequencing
- Hip, knee, ankle, and shoulder mechanics
- Setup, backswing, downswing, impact, and follow-through
- Energy transfer efficiency and swing consistency
This gives clear, actionable insight into where power is being lost and why.
3. Shot-Specific Force + Video Analysis
We analyze putting, short game, irons, and driver swings using:
- VALD ForceDecks
- High-quality video breakdown
This allows us to quantify:
- Ground reaction force production
- Left vs right force transfer
- Timing, impulse, and weight shift strategy
- Real-time sequencing and stability patterns
4. Professional Golf Coaching Assessment
Every athlete completes a one-hour assessment with a PGA of Canada Professional instructor.
Then, our performance team collaborates directly with the PGA of Canada Professional to merge:
- Biomechanics
- Force data
- Technical coaching feedback
This ensures recommendations make sense for real golf, not just lab numbers.
5. Force Plate Athletic Testing (VALD ForceDecks)
We also evaluate athletic qualities that influence swing speed and injury resilience, including:
- Peak force production
- Impulse and power output
- Jump and landing asymmetry
- Lower-body force strategy
6. Technical Skill Video Feedback
You’ll receive detailed video breakdowns of:
- Putting
- Short game
- Irons
- Driver
With slow-motion analysis, annotations, and coaching overlays.
7. Vision + Perception Testing (Senaptec)
What You Leave With
Each golfer receives a complete performance profile including:
- Full DARI + ForceDecks + Senaptec report
- Full 3D swing biomechanics analysis
- Shot-specific annotated video clips
- PGA of Canada Professional technical assessment notes
- Comparative benchmarks (age, level, and performance standards)
- Clear training + swing recommendations
- A professional digital/printed performance booklet
Why This Matters
This assessment bridges the gap between golf coaching and human performance.
It helps golfers:
- Improve swing power and sequencing
- Build consistency under speed
- Optimize weight transfer and stability
- Reduce injury risk through asymmetry correction
- Strengthen both short game and long game mechanics
- Build a body that supports golf for life
