Introducing PGA Tour Coach Joey D

We at GolfGym are extremely excited that we have developed a partnership with one of the most elite coaches on the PGA Tour, Joey Diovisalvi - "Coach Joey D".

He has been a Strength, Conditioning and Biomechanics Coach on the Tour for 10 years. He coached Vijay Singh for seven years of those years. He traveled to all the tournaments with Vijay and for one year performed double duty as his caddie. That just so happened to be the year that Vijay set the record for most money earned in one season on the PGA Tour...over 10 million dollars.

Joey D's coaching methods with Vijay were highlighted on an ABC TV Special on Golf which showed Vijay's dedication and work ethic to improve his golf fitness and performance. Obviously all that hard work paid off as Vijay became #1 in the world.

Joey D is a highly respected and sought after biomechanics, and strength and conditioning coach for many of the current PGA Tour players including Pat Perez, Ryuji Imada, Charlie Wi, John Rollins, Jason Gore, Tom Pernice, Jr, Tim Wilkinson, Jason Dufner and Travis Perkins just to name a few.

You have probably seen Joey D on TV demonstrating the proper swing patterns and body movements necessary to generate the most powerful swing possible while preventing injury.

Over the next 90 days, you will hear more about the new Joey D Signature Series of GolfGym products and DVD's that will be offered to improve your golf specific conditioning. We will bring you the products and workouts that the PGA players are employing on the Tour.

Inside the Ropes in Las Vegas

Hangin' out at the Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open in Las Vegas.

Last week Vicki and I along with Jeff Killian and our video crew went to Las Vegas to meet Coach Joey D to shoot new video with some of the players he is coaching on the Tour. We were lucky enough to get passes to go "Inside the Ropes" on Tuesday during the practice rounds. It was really exciting to go out on the driving range to get close to and observe the pros as they went through their warm ups and practice shots.

Through Joey D, we know coach Chris Noss, the strength and conditioning coach for Zach Johnson. Zach Johnson was finishing his practice on the range and I started over to him to introduce myself. As I got closer, I saw him bend down and pick up a small orange bag off the ground and stuff it in his Titelist Tour bag. I introduced myself and asked him if that was a GolfGym PowerSwing Trainer that he was putting in his bag. He said, "Yes, I warm up with it all the time". Not only do all the players that Joey D coaches use our PowerSwing Trainer, but now we know that Zach Johnson does as well.

Look for the video that we shot with Joey D, Ryuji Imada, Travis Perkins and Ken Biggerstaff to be on the website in November.
