Tathata Golf

App functionality seems designed to keep billing you and makes it difficult to stop draws on your credit card. Not recommended.

Information in the app is good. Be careful about the auto enroll feature. I turned off the auto enroll online but was still charged. When I disputed they refused to help or refund.

THE GOOD: Hepler focuses on the fundamentals, and tells you how the swing should feel. For example, when speaking of the swing plane, he doesn't tell you to think about the plane, but rather focus on your balance, because if your balance is good, the swing plane will sort itself out. Also, I liked how he said to initiate the downswing by "surfing" toward the target. I believe that things like that are more effective than thinking about mechanics. THE BAD: The structure of the instruction. Hepler spreads out instruction over the course of 60 days. He has each day (about an hour of instruction) divided into different segments, such as stretching and warm-up, routines, and mental techniques. The problem is that he gives little tidbits of good instruction interspersed between the different segments, so you have to watch the entire thing to learn maybe one or two good principles for the day. I don't have 60 hours to spend watching him, nor is it interesting enough to. I think he's trying to simply make a one-size-fits-all program, but we all have different strengths and different levels of ability, and so most of what he is saying, or the routines he does are redundant and a waste of time for me. I have watched only 1/2 or 2/3 of the series, because I get so bored watching all of his routines, and then I try to skip ahead and find the good instruction, but it is hard to find because it is in short segments piecemeal through the hour. I wish he would simply do a video where he lays out all of the good stuff and explains the golf swing and how it should feel. Of course if he did that the video might be 30-60 minutes, and he couldn't make a fortune selling a 60 day program. Which brings me to "the ugly." THE UGLY: Make no mistake about this program: it was developed with money-making as the main objective. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but I do think Hepler has lost sight of a few important things--such as offering simple instructional videos (instead of the super long routine videos--as mentioned above), and also the customer service. I actually signed up for what is now called the "Legacy Program", for around $160. I received offers trying to get me to try out there new program for free--one year for free, to be precise. All I had to do was give them my credit card info. I thought "why not", so I tried it. I actually like the old program much better because the instructional parts are easier to find in the videos. It's almost

Hands down the easiest way to learn such a complicated game

The Tathata Golf program and training is by far the best player development program in the golf industry. Period. My review is on the first version of this app. My two biggest issues: 1) No FULL-Screen mode on device and 2) Unable to stream to screen sharing (Apple TV, Chromecast, etc). I can just use a browser on my phone to achieve full-screen or screen-share modes and “actually” use my loving room to train. Everything else on TG App runs smoothly. Keep it up, Team Tathata!

I’ve been a Tathata fan for a while now because it’s the only program that I’ve found that studies how the greatest in the game moved/played. This app is a nice addition to my membership because I wanted a way to view the content outside of laptop. Really buying into the mind, body, swing lifestyle now.
