Understanding the Data

Balance is an essential aspect of a successful golf swing. It plays a crucial role in helping maintain control, generate power, and achieve consistent results. While there is no “perfect swing,” there are fundamentals and patterns that lead to increased consistency.
Balance Optix provides real-time visual data so you can better understand and focus on these important aspects of your own swing.
Weight Distribution – Most elite players have a weight distribution that is approximately 50/50 at address, weight shifts to the rear foot at the top of the backswing, and towards the lead foot through impact and finish.
Center of Pressure (CoP) – CoP describes the average location of force being applied to the ground and can be tracked it as it moves both laterally and horizontally throughout the golf swing.
Elite players tend to keep their CoP on a relatively straight horizontal line throughout the swing.
