Science&Motion (SAM), a global leader in golf technology, is excited to introduce three distinguished coaches – Nick Biondi (USA), Leon Marks (Luxembourg), and Rolf Kinkel (Germany) – as the newest additions to its team of brand ambassadors. This partnership reinforces SAM’s dedication to advancing golf instruction through innovative technology, as these coaches are dedicated to bringing SAM’s cutting-edge systems to the forefront of their respective markets.
Nick Biondi
A former Touring Professional, Nick Biondi has shifted his focus from competitive play to teaching, earning recognition as one of Pennsylvania’s top instructors and one of Golf Digest’s Best Young Teachers in America. His holistic coaching style addresses not only the physical game but also the mental and emotional aspects. A certified expert in SAM BalanceLab, Nick harnesses the most advanced balance technology to refine both the golf swing and putting strokes.
“The SAM BalanceLab is the most user-friendly, medical-grade system available, allowing my students to easily grasp their balance data during lessons. With Science&Motion, you’re always getting the highest quality tools,” said Biondi.
Leon Marks
With over 25 years of coaching experience across Europe, Leon Marks is a highly respected figure in golf instruction. Originally from Wales, where he excelled as a junior player, Leon transitioned to coaching after an injury ended his playing career. As the National Coach of Luxembourg and Director of GolfSchool Luxembourg, Leon has worked with players of all levels, from beginners to Tour pros, relying on SAM PuttLab to deliver top-level analysis and fitting for putting.
“Mastering putting is about precision, and SAM PuttLab provides the exact data needed to improve. Without this level of detailed analysis, you’re not truly committed to developing your putting game,” Marks stated.
Rolf Kinkel
A PGA Professional since 1990, Rolf Kinkel specializes in putting instruction and has been a member of David Orr’s Flatstick Putting Academy for over a decade. As the highest accredited putting coach in Europe under Orr’s mentorship, Rolf utilizes the state-of-the-art SAM PuttStudio technology at his private facility in Potsdam to deliver an unmatched putt training experience. This advanced SAM PuttStudio+ setup includes an overhead camera-based ball tracking and analysis system, augmented reality (AR) projected onto the putting surface, and seamlessly integrated with the SAM PuttLab – creating the most comprehensive putting analysis tool available.
“I enjoy working with all levels of players using SAM PuttStudio. The system provides the detailed data needed to diagnose and solve putting issues, which makes it invaluable in my coaching,” Kinkel remarked.
Christian Marquardt on Welcoming the New Trio
“We are thrilled to have Nick, Leon, and Rolf join our growing team of ambassadors,” said Christian Marquardt, Managing Director of Science&Motion. “These coaches represent the best in golf instruction, and their expertise will undoubtedly enhance the visibility and application of SAM technology in the global golf community. We’re proud to support them as they elevate their students’ performance using our cutting-edge tools.”
Looking Ahead
As Science&Motion continues to grow, the company is eager to expand its ambassador team further. In the coming months, more top-level coaches will be joining forces with SAM to help shape the future of golf instruction worldwide.
