till relatively new to the market, ProStance has been the is set to revolutionise th
result of three years of research and development with
professionals and amateurs alike. In fact, it’s the
professional game which cannot get hold of the product fast
enough. Over 70 Tour players already trust this unique product
including three-time major winner Padraig Harrington, Paul
McGinley, Rory McIlory, Bradley Dredge, Philip Archer, Richard
Finch and Becky Brewerton.
Whilst results at the elite end of the game include improved
driving distance by up to 30 yards and reduced putts per round
by four strokes, this simple balance aid is establishing its position
as one of the most advanced game-improvement tools on the
market today.
Why ProStance?
Operating from its offices in Scotland, the home of golf,
ProStance Limited is committed to replicating the success they
have enjoyed with Tour players with golfers of all levels the world
over.
The brainchild of directors, Dr Paul Hurrion and
PGA Coach Stewart Craig (pictured, left),
ProStance has been developed following
extensive research into both putting and full
swing biomechanics.
The research highlighted that golfers do not
always know where their weight is truly
positioned with 95% of both professional, as
well as amateur golfers, not enjoying a balanced
golf swing.
With the majority of golf coaches addressing
faults with golf swings through compensations, it
became apparent there was a market for a product that
addressed the root cause of the majority of swing faults – static
and dynamic balance. Dr Paul Hurrion, coach to Padraig Harrington, comments: “In
order to maximise control and stability, a balanced set-up
position is crucial to the performance of the golf swing. It is vital
for the individual to stand balanced at address. Any significant
variation at set-up will only lead to compensations during the golf
swing and inconsistent results.”
The research reinforced the need for golfers to be stable at
address and dynamically balanced during the golf swing – the
result: powerful, more accurate ball striking and smoother
consistent putting strokes.
Dr Hurrion added: “Before we created ProStance, the only way
to determine if an individual was perfectly balanced was to use
force or pressure platforms. These are not accessible to the
majority of golfers, but with ProStance we have developed a
simple, yet highly effective alternative producing the same end
result at a fraction of the price.”
How ProStance works
Essentially, ProStance is an inflatable balance aid that ensures
weight is concentrated through the centre of gravity of the
