Ground Reaction Forces Applied for Golf Swing - Center Of Pressure

This video is an overview description of pressure and center of pressure measurements in the golf swing, followed by an explanation of entry level training of foot to ground interaction in the golf swing:



Center of Pressure between the two feet is influenced by not only the amount of force applied through the foot into the ground by to a large extent the direction of the applied force.  Keeping a good foot-ground interface through out back swing, transition and down swing is important for creating good force and a good pattern of force application.

    Thanks for all your hard work on this video. I would love to see you compare center of pressures and ground reaction forces between the currently prominent swing style and the Mike Austin swing.

    sounds interesting... what do you think the main differences would be?
