In the past year or so I have performed plenty of TPI screens on golfers and I can tell you that one of the most commonly failed screens in amateur golfers is the Lat Test. This is important as, research has shown that better golfers exhibit more shoulder flexion in the swing (shoulder flexion is what’s tested in the Lat Test). Further, older and higher handicapped golfers tend to exhibit less shoulder flexion, whilst a loss of shoulder flexion in the golf swing is also correlated with injury.

In my opinion, the Lat Test is probably the most misunderstood test in the TPI golf screening in terms of what it tests and how it affects the golf swing. I can tell you from personal experience it can also be one of the most frustrating test results to improve as well.
