 Not Rick Sessinghaus and Randy Hillegaart of Body Balance Performance in Burbank. The two men frequently work in tandem, with PGA professional Sessinghaus sending students with physical issues to golf fitness expert Hillegaart. The two men recently invested in two high-tech tools: the Dynamic Balance System, a mat that measures balance, and the Body Motion System, a vest that gauges rotation in the swing. “In a day and age where there’s a lot of technology, we as instructors need to learn how to use these advancements while not overwhelming our students,” Sessinghaus said. Here are the teaching duo’s five favorite advancements in golf fitness training: Dynamic Balance System: “It measures balance throughout the swing. Knowing that can help us make swings more consistent. Clients can feel and get instant feedback. This machine doesn’t lie.” Body Motion System: “It makes students aware of their X factor (shoulder and hip rotation) throughout the entire swing. What’s really great is that part of the swing can be quantified from lesson to lesson, so the student sees how they’re making progress.” The acceptance of golf fitness: “Since physical issues cause swing flaws, we now know that changing someone’s physical structure will change the swing. Exercise can take care of that.” The use of video: “The power of seeing your swing decreases the learning curve because you simply learn it quicker.” Peak Achievement Trainer: “It’s a computer device, much like headphones, that goes on your head and measures brainwave activity. When working with students on the mental game we use it so we can more easily teach them how to get in the zone.” |
