Rick Silva

Managing Director - M3G|Movement3Golf

Rick Silva is one of the most technologically advanced golf instructors in America. As a GOLF Magazine Top 100 Teacher and 8-time Golf Digest Best Teacher in Illinois, Rick combines cutting-edge 3D biomechanics with personalized coaching to deliver results no traditional lesson can match.

Author of The Golfer's Tools: A Practical Guide to Swing Science, Rick's approach is rooted in understanding how YOUR body moves - then building a custom improvement plan around it.

A Research-Grade Biomechanics Lab

M3G|Movement3Golf is the most advanced golf instruction studio in the country. Every lesson is powered by research-grade technology that measures what the human eye cannot see. We don't guess - we measure.

Biomechanics-Driven Instruction

Traditional golf instruction relies on what the eye can see. M3G goes deeper - mapping the forces, torques, and movement patterns that actually drive your swing.

Using 3D segment analysis and composite mass center modeling, we identify exactly where energy is being lost and where it can be gained.

Rick's methodology is built on peer-reviewed biomechanics research from Dr. Steven Nesbit and Michael Jacobs - the pioneers of golf swing science.

Dr. Steven Nesbit

CHIEF TECHNOLOGY OFFICER • JACOBS 3D

Michael Jacobs built and runs one of the most technologically advanced golf instruction studios in North America at Rock Hill Golf & Country Club. He is the only golf instructor to have designed his own research software to measure the forces and torques at work in a golf swing. Working with Dr. Nesbit, he has authored two textbooks on swing science and delivered keynote presentations at PGA teaching summits worldwide. His clients include three-time major champion Padraig Harrington.

Dr. Nesbit is Professor Emeritus of Mechanical Engineering at Lafayette College, where he spent 30 years studying human sports movement. He designed the USGA's original golf swing study that determined the contributions of the player and club to driving distance. His renowned research paper "Work and Power Analysis of the Golf Swing" established the foundation of golf biomechanics. Rick Silva's M3G methodology is built directly on the Jacobs & Nesbit research framework.

THE M3G CONNECTION

Rick has mentored and trained extensively under both Jacobs and Dr. Nesbit, integrating their peer-reviewed biomechanics research directly into every M3G lesson using GEARS 3D MOCAP, Jacobs 3D analysis, and advanced motion capture.

Your Improvement, Engineered

Everyone is different and is looked at as a unique specimen. That said, every client at M3G follows a proven process designed to produce measurable results - not opinions, not feel, not guesswork. 1 Assess Full biomechanical capture and physical screen to establish your baseline

The Golfer's Tools

A Practical Guide to Swing Science —

by

Rick Silva

Rick Silva bridges the gap between swing science and practical improvement. Written for golfers of every level, it demystifies biomechanics and gives you the tools to understand the "why" behind every swing change.

With introduction and research from Michael Jacobs — Golf Digest's 11th Best Teacher in America.

“Rick Silva has been on a relentless quest for real answers since I met him more than a decade ago — and that’s a journey I recognize and respect. In a world of tips and hot takes, building real understanding of the physics and biomechanics of this game is hard work.”
