“I haven’t used it on my guys yet,” says Foley,
whose “guys” also include PGA Tour pros Hunter
Mahan, Sean O’Hair and Justin Rose. “But that’s
a goal.” Foley, himself, has been tested and so
have many of his junior players.
Tiger Woods (left) and Foley review a swing
sequence.
Basically, he says, it is hard to get the top
players to sit still long enough (even though
the testing doesn’t take more than 30 minutes)
to go through the process. “I would like to see
it get to the point where the technology would
be good enough that if you came for a lesson
and we were working on the first part of a
kinetic link and we were doing a drill – you
could hit a shot and go right to the computer
and see if it had changed. People want infor-
mation right away.”
Welch compares providing that kind of
instant feedback to “taking an X-ray of a broken
bone, then another one a few minutes later
hoping to see it had healed.” But, he adds, “We
do now have the ability to process the ZenoLink
data exactly the way it is within 15 minutes and,
if necessary upon request, we can process it
during a lesson so the information can be used
immediately.”
Tiger, are you listening?
