Data-Driven Performance Analysis for Golfers
We eliminate the guesswork from your game. By integrating precision technology like TrackMan and force plates, we turn raw metrics into a clear roadmap for your development.
Data takes the guesswork out of coaching elite athletes. My senior coach explains how we use technology like TrackMan, HackMotion, SAM PuttLab, and Capto to understand performance and apply that data to make students better.
Our investment in GASP force plates has been a game-changer. Here, my team and I are in a session with an international mentor to master the understanding of forces and torques, taking our coaching ability to the next level.
A behind-the-scenes look at a remote learning session on force plate data. Continuous learning is critical, and we ensure our team is always up to speed with the latest technology and analysis techniques.
This screen displays 3D motion and force data, providing a granular look at a player's biomechanics. This level of detail allows us to make precise, effective adjustments that lead to significant performance gains.
A close-up of our swing analysis software, which combines video with 3D force plate data. This integrated view helps us diagnose issues with swing mechanics that are invisible to the naked eye.
A typical setup in our performance lab, with multiple cameras and force plates capturing every aspect of the swing. This data is then analyzed to provide actionable feedback to the athlete.
Using data to mentor a player. Here, I am breaking down swing analytics on screen, translating complex numbers into clear, understandable feedback that the athlete can immediately apply to their training.
As the Founder and Director of Instruction, I have built my academy on a foundation of data and performance statistics. This graphic from our partner, Upgame, highlights my role in shaping the future of Indian golf.
My journey into coaching began because I lacked access to high-level, data-driven instruction as a player. This inspired me to build an academy system that gives today's athletes the tools I never had.
My belief in data started with Excel sheets and evolved through various software systems to Upgame. This journey reflects my commitment to using the best performance statistics tools available to help my players.
About Data-Driven Performance Analysis
You can film your swing all day, but video only shows you what happens, not why it happened. We use force plates and radar data to see exactly how your body creates power—and where you are leaking it. This isn't just about looking better on camera; it is about objective, repeatable numbers that tell us what you need to fix next.
In golf, subjective 'feel' often leads to inconsistent practice and slower progress. At TSG Academy, we shift the conversation from opinion to evidence. We utilize a comprehensive tech stack—including TrackMan for ball flight and club data, HackMotion for wrist mechanics, and GASP force plates to analyze ground reaction forces—to build a scientific profile of every athlete.
Why Data Matters
Most players spend hours hitting balls without a specific objective. Our data-driven approach changes that. When we map your swing using 3D motion capture, we can identify specific faults in your transition or release that are invisible to the naked eye. We then use platforms like Upgame to track your on-course performance, ensuring that the practice you do at the range directly translates to lower scores during competition.
The Process
- Baseline Assessment: We start by gathering data on your current ball flight, club path, and ground interaction.
- Gap Analysis: We compare your numbers against professional benchmarks to identify the most critical areas for improvement.
- Prescriptive Training: We don't change your whole swing. We implement drills designed specifically to alter the one or two data points that will yield the biggest performance gain.
- Review: We regularly re-test your numbers. If the data doesn't move, we change the drill.
This is a 6-month journey for our coaches to master, but for the student, it is the fastest way to shorten your learning curve. We don't train hobbies; we train athletes who want to compete at the highest level. If you are serious about understanding your own mechanics, this is the environment you need.
Tarun Sardesai Golf Academy
I built this academy because I didn't have access to this level of technology when I was a competitive player. I am here to ensure you do not have to guess about your game, providing the same objective, data-backed feedback that has produced three of the last four National Amateur champions.
