As we move into 2025, the world of golf continues to evolve and change at a rapid pace. LIV Golf is still around and doesn't seem to be going anywhere. The PGA Tour is becoming harder to reach with cards being reduced each year and access to tournaments for those at the bottom more restricted. And now some Power 5 colleges are reducing their scholarships down to 8 players. All that to say that there is less room for error now than there ever has been for those looking to take their game to the next level.


During this time we have also seen some huge improvements in technology such as the ease and accessibility of 3D analysis through SportsBox 3D Golf and now portable dual force plates from Smart2Move.


If you are an elite golfer looking to elevate their game in 2025, obtaining an analysis on these force plates is a MUST!


How you use the ground can have a major impact on your game. And the only way to truly be able to measure this is through force plates. They are able to provide us with the kinetic data of your swing in real time to see if you are firing things at the proper time, as well as at the appropriate magnitudes. These are things that cannot be seen with the naked eye although some try to make assumptions.


We like to say that force plate data shows us HOW you are utilizing the ground in your swing. It is the best way for us to feel like we can step into your shoes and know how you are making a swing. Some of the brilliant minds at TPI (Titleist Performance Institute) have even mentioned that if they only had one piece of technology to take with them into the future it would be force plates.

Obtaining this type of data can be great for those who may be struggling right now to hit the ball but is can also be very important for those who feel like they are playing GREAT! You may ask why? The truth is that at some point, their swing will start to feel a little off, and having this data from when they were striping it can help to see if their force production could be part of the issue.


So what exactly are we looking at with the force plate data?


There are really 3 different things

  • Lateral Force

  • Vertical Force

  • Anterior-Posterior Force and Vertical Torque


We have a collection of data from the best players in the world that we compare YOUR numbers to so we can see what areas we need to address.


Combine this assessment with a physical screen to know WHY you might be making that move in your swing and the 3D analysis from SportsBox to see WHAT you are doing and we now have the full picture to build your golf performance program!


This is an experience unlike any other and you are NOT going to want to miss out!
