Why the Full Swing KIT Is the Best Launch Monitor for Golf Instructors: Insights from Dave Phillips

In a recent video, Dave Phillips—co-founder of the Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) and coach to professional golfer Jon Rahm—shared how he uses the Full Swing KIT to elevate his coaching and help his players improve. Phillips emphasizes that success on the course isn’t just about hitting more balls—it’s about understanding the data behind every swing. With the Full Swing KIT, Phillips can gather accurate metrics that allow him to make informed coaching decisions, giving both him and his players confidence in their progress.

“It gives not only me the confidence, but it gives them the confidence to know that I am looking at everything.”

One of the key points Phillips makes is how easy it is to fall into the trap of hitting countless balls without real improvement. He stresses that without understanding the metrics like club path, face angle, and ball flight, players can’t effectively adjust their swing. With the Full Swing KIT, players have access to this vital data, ensuring each practice session has a purpose and leads to measurable progress.

Phillips also values the KIT’s portability and ease of use. Whether traveling with Rahm or working remotely, he relies on the KIT to quickly deliver real-time data. Rahm can even use it independently, sharing his session results with Phillips when they’re not together, allowing for continuous monitoring and feedback.

To keep practices engaging, Phillips sometimes sets up creative drills using the KIT, giving Rahm specific goals to meet. This breaks the monotony of routine practice and keeps him competitive and motivated, with the KIT tracking every swing in real time.

“ If you are really trying to get better, you need to understand what to work on and you need to have metrics that show you very simply that this you need to work on. Now I can see if I’m getting better.”

For instructors looking to enhance their coaching, the Full Swing KIT provides not only precise, actionable data but also the flexibility to create engaging and productive training sessions. As Phillips highlights, improvement is about understanding your data—because true progress starts with knowing the numbers.
