GolfDashBlog: A lot of us know the name Joey Diovisalvi and have see you associated with the PGA Tour over the years. For those of who don't know you, can you bring them up to speed?
JoeyD: I'm a biomechanics coach on the PGA Tour and have been for over a decade now. I'm currently working week in and week out with seven Tour pros -- Pat Perez, Ryuji Imada, Jason Dufner, Charlie Wi, Chez Reavie, Jason Gore and Tom Pernice Jr. Before that I spent seven years working with Vijay Singh, including his run where he was the top-ranked player in the world. I've been featured on the CBS ...
I was pretty floored a few weeks back watching the St. Judes Classic and seeing the 265 pound girth of Guy Boros. That is just a lot of weight to be carrying around. And mind you, I am not judging Mr. Boros (or even the chunkiness of Duval) - he is on the PGA Tour with over 1.5 million in career earnings so he can weigh whatever he likes.
Just wondering if he did, say, lose 30 pounds or so just how effective his game would become. Well, that is my challenge for Mr. Boros - to lose 30 pounds. Only caveat is that I get a percentage of winnings once ...
Curious out there how many folks practice some type of alternative exercise to increase your golf swing power. By this I mean aikido, chi gong, tai chi, etc. I have practiced
aikido in the past so I have some direct experience. It is a type of "power" that you develop over time.
One of the keys in any of these disciplines is, of course, you have to practice it but it very much has to do with working on a way to relax your body so you have "effortless" power. I have glimpsed this only a few times in the last couple years and if I had the chance to ...
Johnny Miller made an interesting comment in yesterdays Players Championship concerning Tiger Woods.
Not sure of the exact quote but he mentioned that maybe his biceps are getting in the way of his swing. Now golf certainly requires strength but I tend to agree with Johnny. He just seems to be getting too pumped up to play precision golf.
If you made a composite image of all the past superstars into one ideal body type you would certainly not get the current view we have of Tiger.
Hogan, Snead, Watson, Trevino, Nicklaus, Miller, all had, of course, different body types but even Jack's figure was somewhat "sinewy" in his prime. No bulk. Just long, ...
While most established tour pros have a coach and a psychologist but very few have a biomechanics expert as part of their team.
It seems your golf technique is often compromised by poor biomechanics. So, in other words, no matter how hard you try to emulate Tiger Woods' rapid hip clearance or Fred Couples' flexible turn, you won't be able to achieve it if you don't have the physical capability to make those movements.
Biomechanics experts, unlike PGA professionals (who have a detailed knowledge of golf swing fundamentals) golf biomechanics experts use advanced physical assessment and training technique to improve flexibility, muscle performance and joint stability.
Then, according to the results, a program (personalized ...

Can a pill a day help keep sun cancer away? that's the potential of a new supplement called Heliocare, which has been shown to protect skin against the effects of sun exposure.Part of a new trend in "oral antioxidants", Heliocare's active ingredient is an antioxidant called Polypodium Leucotomos (PL), an extract from ferns native to Central America, which have been used by indigenous people to heal skin problems such as psoriasis and dermatitis."Studies show that heliocare helps prevent redness after the skin has been irradiated with ultraviolet light," explains Dr. Leslie Baumann, professor of dermatology at the University of Mimami and author of The Skin Type Solution....
