The Groove Training Regimen

A Driving Range for the Brain

Golfers perform a series of excercises which are designed to improve mind-body timing. Using The Groove application on a PC, the user attempts to trigger a mechanism in sync with audible and visual guides. Repetition builds proficiency and over time, exceptional results can be achieved.

Establishing a Baseline

First-time users take a one-minute test in which they try to impact a trigger in rhythm with the metronome beat. After each test, a score is calculated representing your impacts' average number of milliseconds (ms), one thousandth of a second, off the metronome beat.

Golfers with normal mind-body timing and focus ability score between 40 and 80ms, while naturally gifted individuals (e.g., PGA Tour Players) routinely test between 10 and 30ms. With enough dedicated training on The Groove, most golfers can achieve elite-level scores below 10ms.

Beginning the Training

Once a baseline has been established, golfers begin training on The Groove. The Groove's neuro-motor engagement regimen uses patented auditory guidance tones and proprietary visual cues to help golfers develop precise mind-body timing and reliably locked-in focus. On the golf course, these improvements result in more consistent ball striking, fewer blow-up holes, better feel around the green and, ultimately, lower handicaps. Golfers who train with The Groove are better equipped to get into a rhythm and maintain it throughout a round.

Duration of the Training

Users will notice some improvement in mind-body timing and focus after one hour of training with The Groove. For substantial improvement in timing and focus, six hours or more of training on The Groove is recommended. Once the initial training course is complete, players use fifteen-minute training sessions to tune-up timing and focus before a round.

A Frequently Asked Question About This Topic

What motion should I use to impact the sensor?
The motion you use is up to you. Because the sensor fits easily on to the hand, many users choose a fluid, rhythmic movement that looks a little like clapping. Other users hit the sensor against their hip to simulate a back swing. Advanced trainees use increasingly complex movements to add a degree of difficulty and finely tune their mind-body timing. But any fluid movement will allow you to reap the benefits of the training. The Groove needs only a simple, physical action to engage and train your brain's mind-body connection.

Why can't I change the interval of the metronome beat?
Years of treating patients dealing with the effects of stroke and ADHD have shown that the interval of The Groove's metronome, 54 beats per minute, is the optimum interval for training mind-body timing and focus. Because the interval is slightly slower than the familiar ticking of seconds on a clock, the trainee is forced to concentrate on the beat. This concentration allows The Groove to improve a golfer's mind-body timing and focus more quickly and effectively.
