THE METHOD
 
 
         
  The Method

Flexor is the first scientifically validated, patented, sport-specific motor- learning program.  It has been scientifically proven at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center’s Neuromuscular Research Laboratory to improve strength, balance, flexibility, and coordination - adding distance and improving accuracy for golfers of all ages and abilities.

The Flexor System was developed by Skip Latella, one of the world’s leading sports physiologists. Widely recognized as an innovator in advanced sports-training programs, Skip has worked with leading golf instructors and authorities on sports training to design a system that integrates the patented Flexor "in-position" method with existing training regimens.

The Flexor System is based on proven, scientific research and over 20 years of field applications, and features a patented "in-position" training method that improves the brain/body "connection," leading to improved strength, technique, and better performance.

The Science
 
What makes Skip's methodology different from other training regimens is that it is sport-specific training, done "in-position" -- onethat builds a balanced base and creates new motor-learning patterns.  The benefits to the student being trained include improving the brain/body connection, while building a more stable swing foundation – all the while increasing flexibility, strength and balance in all phases of the swing. 

The University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine  (UPMC) Center for Sports Medicine independently evaluated the Flexor System and published the results in the March 2008 World Scientific Congress for Golf’s Journal of Sports Science, writing that:   

"The Flexor Sports Training System has resulted  in significant  improvements  in unique golf-specific physical characteristics, swing mechanics, and golf performance.   Study participants experienced an average increase in total distance of 14.9 yards and improved accuracy."


 
 
     
 
  The Study

Flexor offers a baseline physical evaluation and testing program as well as online instruction and multimedia lesson plans. Flexor will provide a greater "ROI" for students and is adaptable to all golfers – beginners or advanced; juniors, women, and seniors - as well serving as a tool for injury recovery and addressing physical limitations.

Flexor is the first and only sport-specific motor-learning program that gives real-time feedback and information on impact on performance.  Flexor can be implemented on the tee box, allowing it to blend easily with each Teaching Pro’s individual style and manner of teaching.  It works for all skill levels, addresses physical limitations, and easily integrates into an ongoing training system.  

During a lesson, the Flexor methodology is applied directly to swing faults displayed by the student on the driving range.  By using specific drills to demonstrate the proper movements, the student experiences an instant physical sensation -- referred to as "the fix."  The reaction that the student feels provides a learning atmosphere like no other - strengthening the student/teaching relationship and providing better short- and long-term improvement.
