Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I recently became Titleist Performance Institue Certified and put an older client through the screening process. We established some of his short comings and validated them woth video and the K- Vest 3d system. Upon his next round he came to me complaing. He had never been to places onthe course that he was now- he was hitting it 40 + yards further than ever before. And was not feeling any back pain. All very good problems to have.
