Welcome to the real-time future in golf instruction

The Kinetic Golf Performance Program is a partnership between the Avera Sports Institute and the Todd Kolb Golf Academy.

The Kinetic Golf Performance program is an innovative scientific model designed to add power and efficiency to the golf swing. Students are given the Titleist Performance Institute physical screening to identify their functional strengths and limitations. In addition, each student's golf swing is analyzed with the K-Vest motion analysis system. Using this data, each student receives a personalized golf specific training program based on their individual body and swing characteristics.
