Our Data

Why our scores mean something.

Every grade in GolfCheck AI is benchmarked against real athlete testing data — not textbook averages. Here's the depth behind the number.

TPI Database
TPI 3D
Titleist Performance Institute ranges
Tour-level 3D motion-capture ranges for pelvis, torso, and arm rotation — the benchmark your swing is scored against.
⏱️
Tempo
3:1
Novosel tempo ratio
Backswing-to-downswing timing scored to the millisecond against the universal 3:1 ratio found across tour players.
🌀
Swing Kinematics
K-Vest 3D
kinematic pro ranges
Pelvis, torso, lead-arm, and club rotational velocity targets. Elite kinematic sequence 1→2→3→4 (Cheetham).
💥
X-Factor
Zheng
hip-shoulder separation
X-factor coil and stretch correlated with clubhead speed — the #1 predictor of distance, from Zheng et al.
Force Production
LOAD · EXPLODE
· DRIVE
Ground force framework
Three-phase force signature shows how you load, explode, and drive through the ground — and prescribes the right correctives.
📈
Consistency
Repeatable
shot-to-shot swing tracking
Track tempo, sequence, and X-factor across every session — see when your swing is grooved and when it's drifting.
