® BioLinks Introducing the Motion Memory Method for discovering your absolute best golf swing (yours… not somebody else’s) ® BioLinks Using the Sound-Swing™ feedback generator and the science of Motion Learning Augmented Kinematic Feedback What BioLinks® means to you The BioLinks® System is positioned to re-define how we learn to • swing a golf club • hit a baseball, or pitch it • pass a football, or kick it • swing a tennis racquet • increase our skills and enjoyment of any physical sports activities you can think of And if you have any disability that challenges your ability to swing like somebody else, we have some exciting news for you! BioLinks® audio feedback lets you hear what your best shot is whether you can feel it, see it or not. Background of the motion memory concept and invention – the quest for a small, electronic golf training aid with real-time motion feedback. that uses each individual's biomechanical swing attributes or limitations that teaches one’s own best golf stroke - not some pro golfer or trainer model that gives real-time kinematic feedback to help one discover and ingrain correct motion motor programs to dispel the so-called “muscle memory” myth. Background of the motion memory concept and invention – the quest for a small, electronic golf training aid with real-time motion feedback. that uses an individual's biomechanical swing attributes or limitations that teaches one’s own best golf stroke - not some pro golfer or trainer model that gives real-time kinematic feedback to help one discover and ingrain correct motion motor programs to dispel the so-called “muscle memory” myth. The Discovery The inventors of the patented BioLinks® System researched motion-learning methodology founded in the science of kinesiology and applied it to an affordable electronic golf training product. This refreshingly new training concept uses Augmented Kinematic Feedback. It could revolutionize the way we learn how to swing a golf club. But first... Stop right here … . if you consider practice unnecessary or a waste of time. If you have no interest in improving your golf skills, this program is definitely not for you. However… If you love the game and thirst to improve your skills and lower your scores, wouldn’t you practice more if it could be made more fun? Did you know? Golf experts agree that playing golf more frequently is not the answer to improving one’s game. It’s like “doing the same thing over and over while expecting different results.” Yet even with extraordinary talent plus an advanced cerebellum a touring pro cannot be competitive without lots of practice. With focused purpose and guidance. But practice is so boring… Unless you’re a freak of nature, blessed with perfect tempo and timing …you must rely solely on the skills that you can acquire. That’s what 99% of golfers must do. With BioLinks®, new skills can be discovered and the ones you already possess can be sharpened, but only with proper training and a practice regimen that utilizes correct motion protocols. Who will benefit? At BioLinks® we realize that our system will be embraced by all golfers who will invest the time and energy to sharpen their skills. We are convinced that professional, recreational and, especially, disabled golfers will benefit. The challenge is to make practice the kind of fun that is on par with actually playing the game. To accelerate learning and performance then take it to the course. Finally, the elusive challenge has been met with the Patented* BioLinks® Sound-Swing System: Sensor Glove Audio feedback Pair generator of stereo earbuds Mini amplified speaker for use with a golf instructor DVD Motion Memory training video *US Pat No 7,033,281 “Augmented Kinematic Feedback Device and Method” – James V. Carnahan, PhD and David M. Blackshear, co-inventors “High Tech” vs “High Science” By applying the science of kinesiology*, the BioLinks® real-time motion feedback invention is in a class by itself – light years ahead of other “high tech” gadgets that merely capture data for later review. The device is incredibly simple and intuitive. By signaling audio “tone signatures” during the golf swing, one can actually hear the correct motion feedback patterns that imprint motor programs. * Kinesiology: In golf, the study of the motion components of the body during a swing or stroke BioLinks® produces consistent and predictable results Discover, hear and repeat the very best golf stroke that you are capable of: YOUR OWN! Not some golf pro or some elusive model that your body can’t duplicate. More about that later, but first let’s take a look at some other “muscle memory” training aids and why none of them can make that promise … or even try to. Launch Monitors These systems measure detailed data about the swing, club path, launch angle and ball flight. Visual kinetic feedback (about the force characteristics of a movement) are displayed on a computer for later review. They often require semi-permanent installation, are too bulky for transport and need technical expertise to operate. Data analysis by a professional golf instructor is required. $1,000 up. Video motion analysis software At the mid-price range we find several programs for making your own video and then tracing swing paths for later analysis. Some display an avatar while others overlay another image for comparison. Costs range from $30 up to $700 for full features. Personal Launch Monitors Recently introduced are small electronic devices which feature a sensor attached to either the club or glove. All feature the ubiquitous “app” for viewing data on a smart phone or tablet screen. Although marketed as selfteaching aids, for really useful analysis and corrective instruction hire a golf pro. Prices range from $80 - $300 “Muscle Memory” Devices There are countless numbers of gizmos that claim to make the golfer feel what’s right or wrong, or reveal a “magic move” that will instantly increase distance or accuracy. No such thing. How can you learn how to do something by being taught what not to do? Prices are all over the map. “Tin Cup!” According to science forced biomechanics, “muscle memory” devices cannot ingrain a motion profile. Fact is they can create dependence and even negative motor programs! Don’t lose your head! Head movement is not the “death move” as was once taught. But can you take it to the golf course, or driving range? Caution when using this contraption. Costs rival that of a basketball goal. The single plane force field Or, can you take this to the course? Even if there was an ideal full swing plane (there’s not) there is no muscle memory guidance after you climb out of it. Be prepared to lay down anywhere from $1,000 to $3,500 for this contraption. With or without the presence of a golf instructor, self discovery is scientifically proven to be the most powerful learning tool. Master PGA Golf Instructor and Motion Memory expert, Scott Hazledine, has perfected training exercise protocols with the BioLinks® device that cover every component of the golf swing. From putting, to the impart shots, to the full swing. Taking Motion Memory to the course: Have you ever hit a perfect shot and wondered, “Where in the world did that come from?” Or, after executing the shot exactly the same way (or so you thought) watched ball go careening off into the woods? Now, here's how to Discover your very best swing hear the difference between the good, the bad, and the ugly See the desired results of the good one Link that tone signature to the correct motion that created it Memorize it Unconsciously recall it over and over... On the golf course What a concept!
