A Week to Remember at Jacobs 3D
The attendees at the two-day class got an unbelievable treat when major champion Padraig Harrington came by to say hello on Tuesday morning. Fresh from his win at the U.S. Senior Open in June—and even fresher off his win at the Dick's Sporting Goods Open PGA Champions event the day before—Padraig came in to
Build on Your Foundation
To keep your success momentum going, you’re going to be noticing the makeup of some of our lesson sessions change as the summer goes on. We’ll be dedicating more time to taking improvement from the range to the course, and focusing on the art and science of scoring.
A Major Win
A year and a half ago, I got a call from Padraig Harrington. He had seen some of the videos I had put up about clubhead speed and he wanted to see if I could help him get more consistent power in his game. He came to Rock Hill and I was…..

Spring News & The Putting Experience
Winter has always been the time I organize and focus on my research projects and prepare for the upcoming spring teaching season. The past four months have been even busier than usual. I’m excited about the flow of new material you’ll see being published this year on the evolution of the swing motion and how the body interacts with the movement of the club, but the even bigger project has been the upgrades to the Jacobs 3D program. We have begun to roll out our new putting analysis—complete with a comprehensive putter fitting system. We are using the most technologically advanced putters on the market that allow for the heads to be customized specifically for each player’s aiming preference…..
Influential Golf Swing Positions
Based on a 12 year research project, we have adopted a database of the key positions during the swing. These dynamic events will help us group, analyze and compare the golfers we have studied. This 32 page pdf is mostly a visual experience. As we start to publish a statistical comparison of players, an understanding of why these positions were selected will be helpful…..

Movement Science Pioneers
Beyond the milder weather, September and October are also great because they mark the beginning of "research and development" season. I spend a lot of time preparing and presenting to groups of coaches, elite players and swing enthusiasts, and use my technical studio at Rock Hill to continue developing the Jacobs 3D sports movement analysis program. I have two events coming up that are great for anyone looking to expand their knowledge and experience as I will be joined by two pioneers in the world of human movement and performance…..
