This data is crucial for understanding how your body interacts with the ground, which can significantly impact your swing efficiency and overall performance.
By using Swing Catalyst Dual Force Plates, you gain access to detailed metrics such as weight distribution, pressure points, and force vectors. This allows you to make precise adjustments to your swing mechanics and improve your balance and stability.
