Game Plan Golf Performance<\/a> in San Marcos, Calif. just north of San Diego. Watching my swing, he suspected my power outage was due to a weight shift issue but he\u2019d be able to quantify it using dual motion force plates in his studio.<\/p>\nA few weeks later, I visited Faust\u2019s very cool office. He undersold his ability, and was actually able to fix my swing in less than 30 seconds using amazing state-of-the-art technology and keen insight. Essentially, I stepped into a hitting simulator bay to take some warm-up swings. Standing with one foot on each of the force plates, I hit balls into the screen. There was a camera facing me, one behind my back, and another to the right of me capturing the rear view of my swing.<\/p>\n
When I was done with warmups, I lined up to hit. Through the magic of those force plates, Faust immediately noticed that 62 percent of my weight was on my back foot, which likely caused me to shift weight improperly on my downswing and throw my hands into impact too much \u2013 in an effort to catch up to my hips and muscle my drives. That was pretty much all in the first five seconds of analysis. Long story short, he was spot on with his assessment. Once we widened my stance, balanced my weight slightly forward, pointed my left toe forward and stretched out my backswing a bit, I got my 30 yards back \u2013 and then some. Faust told me that like many people who recover from injuries, I had probably been swinging to prevent further harm rather than swinging away at the ball. Playing on a real course later in the week, I was actually driving the ball up to 45 yards longer per tee shot than I had been the past eight weeks. All because of my weight balance. Amazing.<\/p>\n
But it was Faust\u2019s insight that was even more astounding. He not only uses the technology, but he clearly knows how to master it. He took an unusual career path to get to where he is, having worked in a corporate environment for 16 years with many hours sitting at a desk. But then he discovered performance fitness, developed a passion for it, and zeroed in on golf. He is an excellent golfer on his own and is certified by several golf-related performance organizations, including Titleist Performance Institute. In other words, he knows the game, he knows fitness, and he knows how to communicate both.<\/p>\n
Although the fix for my game seemed immediate to me, that\u2019s not always the case with swings. \u201cI don’t think anything is instant with golf,\u201d says Faust. \u201cEverything you feel changes from one swing to another, or day in and out. We have the data to tell us why something is happening.\u2029And then with our camera system and the feedback mechanisms we have, we understand the inputs of how we get those data to create the shot. So if you’re hitting fades or slices, we can understand why. Is it the club coming out, is it because of the clubface, because of a pressure shift, or whatever the million things it could be. So then we understand why it’s happening, and now we know what the fixes are.\u2029If you work with us, we talk about what the fixes are to not do that, and we ingrain them. Then when you get outside, you work on the mechanics that we worked on in here.\u201d<\/p>\n
While I was wowed by Faust\u2019s interpretation of all my swing data and how he knew exactly where to apply fixes, I might\u2019ve been even more impressed later that day when he sent a follow-up email recap video. In that footage, he showed me an overlay of my \u201cold\u201d swing over the \u201cnew\u201d one, along with a voiceover explanation. That made it so incredibly easy to see the before-and-after differences, and serves as a specific reminder of what I need to keep doing on the golf course.<\/p>\n
There are golf performance studios all over America with experts who can help you. But if you\u2019re ever in the San Diego area, your game may well benefit from Faust\u2019s expertise and this mind-blowing tech.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ryan Faust at Game Plan Performance Center Scott Kramer \u201cI can fix your swing in 30 seconds,\u201d promised…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":99702,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[566],"tags":[64,63,72742,72746,11506,18664,72743,755,37094,6342,85,72744,72745],"class_list":["post-99701","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-faust","tag-fausty","tag-fix","tag-game-plan","tag-game-plan-performance-center","tag-golf","tag-golf-performance","tag-performance","tag-sports","tag-studio","tag-swing"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/99701","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=99701"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/99701\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/99702"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=99701"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=99701"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=99701"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
