I am Eric Chun, the founder of FireImpact Golf Training System. I have been a PGA professional for over 20 years and hold a PhD in Sports Science. I have trained and nurtured numerous international Tour professionals and produced golf television shows to host some of the greatest teaching professionals in the history of the game, namely Annika Sorenstam, David Leadbetter, Mike Bender, Bob Toski, Mike Malaska, and many more.
Working with all these world-class golfers, learning their philosophies, and discussing the best ways to nurture different kinds of golfers were all once-in-a-lifetime opportunities to transform my perspective on athlete development in golf.
The most important realization that I had as a teaching professional, is that there must be a clear system for our students, and that system is usually best coordinated with the help of machines and training aids that can help golfers teach themselves the right movements in golf. With that in mind, I started FireImpact Golf Training System.
FireImpact's first prototype designs were created in 2005, when veteran PGA professional Eric Oukhyu Chun decided that the current training aids in the market did not help his students systematically improve their swing speed and swing path.
Why did all training aids never look, feel, and work anything like the actual golf clubs? Why did companies keep creating products that are detached from the best training aid there is: the club?
That's when our founder, Dr. Eric Oukhyu Chun PhD, PGA started drawing his first ideas about FireImpact's attachable training aids.
There were many issues and challenges to creating a swing speed trainer that can stay firmly attached to every golf club in the bag, even the driver. It took a long time, but we collaborated with a university lab in South Korea for over 10 years to test and prove the functionality and stability of our products.
After thousands of validity tests of the functionality of the product itself, Dr. Chun started testing the training protocols on golfers. The hypothesis was as such: elite golfers who trained decades to get to their level will not be able to see as much impact as their amateur counterparts. Our studies indicated that our hypothesis was completely wrong.
Competitive and professional golfers (especially women) saw almost the same amounts of percent improvements in swing speeds and carry distances after 20 weeks of FireImpact's training regimen compared to amateur and junior golfers.
The hypothesis failed us, but ultimately we considered the study an amazing success.
Our team at FireImpact golf don't define ourselves as a "training aid company." We call ourselves trainers, because that's what we strive to provide our customers in the end.
That's what our products are for, and that's what our training regimen is for as well. So, let us know if we can add anything for you. Thank you for your interests in FireImpact Golf Training System.
