When we moved to our new facility, we were excited with the possibilities it presented to expand our service offerings beyond club fitting. A natural fit to pair with our club fitting operation is coaching and we are proud to now offer lessons and performance training at Leading Edge Golf. Our instructors have varying backgrounds to suit every type of player. Below you will find bios of our coaching staff.
Our lessons take place on our two Trackman Indoor Optimized Launch Monitors which are integrated with Sportsbox 3D Motion Capture. We also utilize Smart2Move 3D Force Plates, Hackmotion, and Trackman’s Tracy AI feature. Our Trackman iO’s allow us to provide precise shot analysis, practice game like situations on the virtual course, or test our students skills on the Trackman Combine.

Education Development
Almost 20 years ago we at TPI had foreseen the massive implication of power and ultimately distance would have on the game of golf hence the Power 2 certification was born. Power 2 was crafted as an introduction to power as it pertains to golf and maximizing distance. Power 2 encompasses: the science of power, how to screen an athlete for power potential, training techniques for power, technique maximization for power, club fitting for power and speed and other areas.
Power Level 3 is the culmination of Jason’s and TPI’s nearly two-decade research into increasing distance with golfers. It is unlike any other course offered at TPI or in the industry. Power 3 encompasses: high level focus on training power, strength and speed, deep dive into Kinetics - forces & torques in the golf swing for power, speed, consistency and quality of contact, modifying forces and torques and advanced concepts and methodologies of power.
Not quite 10 years ago Jason was Introduced to the principals of the leading 3D Dual Force Plate company in the golf space, Smart2Move. This relationship spawned an incredible opportunity to research and validate ground reaction force implications to the game of golf and training. This opportunity not only shaped his contributions to TPI but also afforded the ability to have a role in providing quality education through the Smart2Move Level 2 Dual Force Plate Certification Seminars as a contributor and instructor, and the Smart2Move Ground Reaction Force multi-platform education series as a developer and contributor.
