The Pelvic Pivot Axis feature address how the lower body
pivots. The main influence is the distribution of weight
throughout the body. Some people have more mass on the
left side of the body, some on the right and some more
evenly distributed. The length of each leg in relations to
each other and spinal curvature can also influence the lower
body axis alignment.

The Trail Arm Action identifies the alignment of the trail
arm throughout the delivery process based on the golfer's
biomechanical design. Some golfers have the forearm
facing more upward (Under Option), some more sideways
(Side-On Option), and some more downward (On-top
Option).

Golfers that own the On-Top Trail Arm Action will use a
Covering Lever Delivery Action. Those golfers will extend
more downward through the ball and feel they are more

more out toward the target, parallel to the ground past
impact. For most they will actually extend close to parallel
left of the target.

Golfers that own the On-Top Trail Arm Action will use a
Stand-Up Postural Release option. Since they begin
their delivery action sooner and extend more downward,
they use a standing up action to make room for the
more On-Top, Covering, and extending more downward
delivery. Peter Senior is a good example of a player that
employed this Postural Release option.

Golfers that own the Side-On Trail Arm Action will use a
Post-Up Postural Release option. Since they begin their
delivery action about halfway down in the downswing,
and their extensions are directed down and out equally
they need to make a moderate amount of room through
impact. To do that they are posting up on the lead leg
through impact and the upper body begins posturing up
to make room through impact and into the extension.
Once the extension is achieved they finish off the
posturing up action finishing tall.

Golfers that own the Under Trail Arm Action will use a
Rotate-In Postural Release option. Since they begin
their delivery action when the hands are about
waist-high and the shaft is approaching parallel to the
ground in the downswing they will extend later and much
more outward. That means they need to stay in posture
longer in order for the clubhead to get to the ball. Once
the extension is achieved they finish off the posturing up
action finishing tall.

Hip-Plane Delivery Slotters will use a down-slotting
action to align the hands in position to deliver the
clubhead in the zone designated as the Hip-Plane

Clearing is basically the action of returning the
rearend on the invisible wall that instructors
often talk about in instruction. Technically it
roll is to establish postural angles in the
downswing so that the arms and club can slot
and link up properly.
Front Hip Clear golfers will use an action of
rotating the front hip so that the front glute will
be pushed back on the wall while the rearend
as a whole returns to the wall. These golfers
will also use Front Impact Linkage.

Thanks to Dr. David Wright for his research in core dynamics,
balance and how it's dynamics relate to the structural influences.
Dr. Wright has also contributed much in the way of Power Angles,
Grip Sizing, Stance Width and Line of Force research. He as
contributed greatly to our understandings of organizing dynamic
influences that allow the structural influences to work more
naturally together.
The picture to the left shows the full region of what is generally
accepted as the Core. In general terms it ranges from the bottom
of the pelvis ot the top of the shoulder girdle. However technically
it can be argued that it involves the glutes and thighs at the lower
end and up into the jaw at the upper end.

With further investigation we will learn that each of the general core
regions have 3 sub regions. There are 9 regions in all. Regions 1, 2,
and 3 make up the Lower (Hip) Zone. Regions 4, 5, and 6 make up
the Middle (Torso) Zone. And regions 7, 8, and 9 make up the Upper
(Shoulder) Zone.
Each of the Zones has specific stance widths that allow the golfer to
find the balance needed to naturally engage that core region
throughout the swing. The lower regions use more rearward balance
which feels more in the heels though is actually just behind the center
of the arches. The upper regions use a more forward balance
alignment with feels in the balls of the feet yet are actually where the
balls and arc meet. The middle regions use a more central balance
alignment.

Thanks again to Dr. Scott Lynn for his research in
ground force patterns and for joining us in BioSwing
Dynamics to understand the truths of what is
happening with golfers of differing biomechanical
make-ups.
Throughout our studies it has become clear that all
golfers have a dominant source of power when it
comes to the Kinetic Sequence. The Kinetic
Sequence involves the combined use of Horizontal,
Torque and Vertical ground forces. Every golfer
uses them all to some degree, however one of them
is their dominant force and that means it is used to
a degree that is well above average.

Now, many good players are successful while using
different sequences, however every time we
encounter one of those sequences and work with
golfers to improve there power output we find that
they end up with the Kinetic Sequence of
Horizontal, Torque, then Vertical. We have also
identified screens that match up with each of the

BioSwing Dynamics Educational Events: There are a variety of Educational Events
available to learn more about BioSwing Dynamics. The first type are simple seminars and
presentations that are given at events like PGA coaching summits. Those are typically 45
minutes to 3 hours (These events do not count towards certification. We often have instructors say they have been
to 2 or 3 educational events and it turns out they were just seminars or presentations. Their main purpose are to simply
overview concepts we cover in BioSwing Dynamics). Then we have 1-Day Accreditation Courses designed
specifically for each level of a the Certification process (These are specifically designed to prepare
instructors for the testing process. We also do testing at these events for those instructors ready to be tested). 2-Day
Workshops (These have a variety of presenters that cover topics that from Level 1-4 of the certification process).
3-Day Major Educational Events (These events cover updated information, new research topics and ongoing
education information).
To become a Level One Certified Instructor you must attend 2 Major Educational Events or
3 Educational Events that are made up of 1-day workshops, 2-day Certification Courses and a
3-Day Major Educational Events. Our suggestion would be to attend one of each to truly
prepare yourself for testing. Another option is to attend either a 2-Day Course or a 3-Day
course and then 2 one day workshops. At the second workshop you will be ready for testing.
Our goal is to get you truly ready for being Certified and to guarantee the quality of your
education.
To become a Level Two Certified Instructor you will need to attend two educational events -
one 1-Day Workshop and either a 2-Day or 3-Day event. Keep in mind that those are
additional events beyond those you attended in Level One. Many Instructors decide to attend
additional course simply to gain that confidence that they are truly prepared
To become a Level Three Certified Instructor you will need to attend two educational events
- one 1-Day Workshop and either a 2-Day or 3-Day event. Keep in mind that those are
additional events beyond those you attended in Level One & Two.
Two become a Level Four Certified Instructor you will first need to take Dr David Wright's
Wright Balance Certification for Stance Width. Additionally you will need to take specific course
designed to improve your knowledge of using 3D analysis technology in your teaching. There
will also be specific courses in determining the golfer's dynamic patterns and techniques.
Two become a Level Five Certified Instructor you will need to attend at least two
Educational Events designed specifically for coaching short game skills in a customized manner
for each golfers Biomechanical Design.
To become a Level Six Certified Instructor you will need to attend at least two multiple day
Education Events designed specifically coaching golfers in the process of performance through
improving focal skills, routines, commitments and other Inner and Mental Game topics.
Once your are Certified in all 6 Levels you can become a Master Level Instructor.

BioSwing Dynamics is an approach to learning and coaching golf that was founded by Mike Adams and E.A. Tischler.
Though they founded the approach they have also made it their commitment to work with many of the leading
coaches, instructors, scientists, biomechanists, fitness experts, and doctors that use their expertise to help us all better
understand the truth about what works, why it works and which golfers it best fits. With over 30 years of research
each, Mike and E.A. have identified 12 structural influences that help identify why golfers have unique and specific
patterns within their swing techniques. Beyond the structural influences they have also identified a variety of dynamic
patterns and have been categorizing which patterns best fit each golfer. Though BioSwing Dynamics also
acknowledges issues of functionality within biomechanics we typically differ to those fitness experts that we have
partnered with to deal with functional issues.Throughout their careers both Mike Adams and E.A. Tischler have worked
with Medical Experts, Physicists, Biomechanists and Fitness Experts to help understand which patterns are valid and
which ones failed to stand up to scientific review. With their help we strive to provide the best possible information with
regard to the patterns we have identified. With our ongoing research we do our best to describe the tendencies we
recognize as well as the information we can definitively state as true.

“BioSwing Dynamics bridges the gaps between teaching, coaching and science. It takes the guesswork
out of determining how a golfer should optimally swing. It allows us to bring efficiency of motion in an
injury-free environment to the students’ golf swing.” Mike Adams
