The Story of The Groove

The Groove is powered by a medical device called the Interactive Metronome (IM), used for a decade to improve coordination and focus in individuals battling the effects of stroke and ADHD. The IM combines the concept of a musical metronome with a patented technology program that accurately measures, assesses and improves a person's mind-body timing and focus.

In 1999, scientists at Central Michigan University put golfers through a course of Interactive Metronome training. The study, published in The Journal of General Psychology, found that amateur golfers who trained on the program developed more consistent shot accuracy across every club tested.

Encouraged by these results, a small group of entrepreneurs within the medical parent company provided training to professionals interested in sharpening consistency of mind-body timing and focus. NFL, NBA and NHL teams, players in MLB, top college programs including the University of Notre Dame, and aviators in the US Navy all train on the program.

The Groove makes getting into a rhythm and maintaining it throughout a round an attainable goal for every golfer.

The company's true believers in athletic applications of the technology decided to focus on golf. In golf, consistency wins. PGA Tour pros rely upon dependable mind-body timing and unwavering focus to help them get into a rhythm and maintain it through the rigors of a championship round. Moreover, the game's scoring made it easy to quantify improvement after training on The Groove.

After years of research and development, a prototype of The Groove training program for golfers was born. Golf coaches, teaching pros, and players at every level trained on the prototype. A February 2003 Golf Digest story (pdf file) featured PGA Tour players using the program, and thousands of readers responded with interest. All of this enthusiastic feedback contributed to the completion of the final consumer golf product. Today, with revolutionary mind-body timing and focus training, The Groove makes getting into a rhythm and maintaining it throughout a round an attainable goal for every golfer.
