Discover the Power of the Swing Catalyst Motion Plate at Swanston Golf Academy
I’m excited to share some fantastic news with you! We’ve just installed the Swing Catalyst Motion Plate, a groundbreaking piece of technology already used by some of the best golf coaches worldwide. It’s now available exclusively here at Swanston Golf Academy, making us the first and only facility in Scotland to offer this incredible swing analysis tool. Let me explain why this is such a big deal for your golf game.
What Does the Swing Catalyst Motion Plate Do?
In simple terms, the Swing Catalyst Motion Plate helps us see the invisible. It shows us exactly how you're using the ground to generate power in your golf swing. You might not think much about your feet when you're swinging, but they play a huge role in how well you hit the ball.
This system combines two advanced tools:
A Balance Plate that measures where pressure is applied on your feet.
A Force Plate that measures how much force and torque you’re generating from the ground.
This data is paired with high-speed video and ball-tracking technology, giving us a clear picture of how you're moving throughout your swing.
Why Does This Matter?
Here’s why this is a game changer. The way you press into the ground, shift your weight, and use your legs all affect how far and accurately you hit the ball. With the Motion Plate, we can now see detailed information like:
Pressure distribution: Are you leaning too far forward or back during your swing? The system tells us.
Center of Pressure (CoP): It shows how balanced you are on your feet and how your weight shifts as you swing.
Ground reaction forces: These are the forces you generate by pushing against the ground to create power. We can now measure them!
This level of insight allows us to optimise your stance, weight shift, and how you generate power, all personalised to your swing.
Helping You Visualize the Invisible
"The new Swing Catalyst has totally transformed the way we coach. It doesn’t just let us see how our students are using the ground, but it also gives us clear numbers and visual feedback. This helps golfers really understand what’s happening in their swing and how to improve it."
The best part? You’ll be able to see your swing in ways you never could before. The video is synced with all the data from the Motion Plate, so you can literally watch your swing while understanding exactly how your body is interacting with the ground at each moment. It’s like shining a light on those invisible forces that are critical to your game but hard to notice without this technology.
