GolfLab Report Chris Peyton

PDF · 23 May 2026

The Golf Lab’s performance analysis report for golfer Chris Peyton (handicap 4) centers on the primary KPI – Face‑to‑Path, currently +6.7° versus a target of ±1°. The report confirms the KPI’s relevance, shows strong ball‑striking efficiency (smash factor 1.453, 117 mph club speed, 280 yd carry) and identifies the main deficit as physical capacity rather than swing mechanics. Detailed physical testing reveals limited overhead squat mobility, unstable single‑leg balance, restricted hip/torso rotation, and a moderate vertical‑jump ceiling (21 in) that caps speed. Upper‑body and core power are adequate but not elite. Equipment analysis confirms the driver (Ping G430 Max, –1.6 setting, true loft 9.8°) is optimally dialed for the current swing. Kinematic sequencing is elite (pelvis‑first, proper proximal‑to‑distal order). Recommendations include a 6‑12‑month plan focused on mobility, balance, power development, a structured 5‑hour weekly training block, increased on‑course play (20‑25 rounds/season), nutrition/recovery guidelines, a measurement cadence (weekly jump & club‑speed, bi‑weekly launch data, 8‑weekly full reassessment), and mental‑competitive preparation (league play, tournament events). The goal – to bring Face‑to‑Path within ±1° and enable reliable fades/straight shots – is deemed achievable with the outlined physical work and competitive exposure.
