Module 6 Wrap-up
We hope that it has become evident that “3D” is not just an analysis technique, and it certainly does not result in a set of numbers that we should teach every golfer to meet.
- 3D means many things: it may be most useful as a high powered diagnostic tool – revealing unseen causes of flaws in the swing
- It may be a great feedback tool that an instructor can use to help the golfer understand how he or she is actually moving
- It may be a great motivational tool showing exactly how much the golfer is improving over time
How it is used will vary from instructor to instructor, and golfer to golfer – and may very well be used in different ways with the same golfer over time. But no matter what equipment is being used (cameras, magnets, force plates) or what information is being discussed, 3D’s greatest use is that it provides a pathway for interaction between the instructor and golfer. It aids communication and understanding on both sides.
Self check questions:
1. Biofeedback training provides the student with immediate feedback based on ranges set by the instructor.
Correct.
This is true. Watch the video located on the Biofeedback page to see this in action
Incorrect.
The correct answer is true. Watch the video located on the Biofeedback page to see this in action
2. Within a biofeedback session, when is the best time to begin weaning a student off of the biofeedback tone?
Incorrect.
The correct answer is that weaning a student off of the biofeedback tone should begin immediately. Watch the video located on the Biofeedback page to see how Dr. Rob Neal incorporates this into the lesson

3. Of the following Sample Golfers, which one creates the least amount of X-Factor?
Incorrect.
The correct answer is Sample Golfer 6. Referring to page 7 in the Visual 3D Reports will show you the player's X-Factor: Rotation throughout the swing, particularly at Maximum. Interestingly, of the Sample Golfers listed here, #6 has the lowest Maximum X-Factor, yet he still creates the greatest amount of club head speed. As mentioned in X-Factor within Module 5, "increasing it (X-Factor) is not necessarily correlated with better drive distance among PGA players... it is only part of the picture."
