The data is easy to understand
and makes complete sense to the pro and their customers. Every professional will agree
that balance is key to the swing. From set-up position to
follow through, a good balance is required. If you want to be a consistent ball striker you must understand how the body should be balanced. To find the correct balance, it’s essential to know where your weight should be during the swing.
Achieving the right balance Swingia shows balance all the way through the swing and guides the user to show good weight transfer and force on the ground at impact. Swingia also shows the
maximum force at the correct point of impact. Combined with video, this is a perfect coaching tool to add to the academy showing stance and force against the ground. Swingia helps you feel the correct balance and hit more solid shots. At set-up the distribution
of weight between right and left foot is shown and heel, toe weight distribution. Swingia helps show that your feet need to have good connection with the ground which will allow you to use your legs, torso and arms creating a balanced swing with speed and creating distance. Combined with a launch
monitor or golf simulator Swingia helps improve distance and control.
