Data-Driven Coaching. Faster Progress. Real Results.
What Are Smart2Move 3D Dual Force Plates?
Smart2Move 3D Dual Force Plates are cutting-edge pressure and force measurement systems that track how a golfer interacts with the ground, capturing vertical (up and down), lateral (side to side), anterior-posterior (front to back and back to front) and rotational forces in real time during the swing.
This technology reveals the invisible mechanics of balance, weight shift, timing, and ground reaction forces that directly influence power, consistency, and accuracy.
Why We Use Force Plate Technology in Our Coaching:
•Uncover What the Eyes Can’t See
Video and ball data only show outcomes, force plates gives us unique insight into “how” the player is creating their characteristic swing.
•Unlock Hidden Power and Proficiency
Learn how efficiently (or inefficiently) you use the ground and how to generate more force with less effort and improve club delivery.
•Customize Every Lesson
Data allows us to tailor drills and swing changes to your unique force signature and movement style.
•Proven Tour-Level Tech
Used by top instructors and elite players worldwide, now available to you.
•Track Progress Over Time
Get objective data at every stage of your development.
What We Measure:
● Ground Reaction Forces (GRF) under each foot and combined in three dimensions:
Vertical (up and down), Lateral (side to side), Anterior-posterior (front to back and back to front) throughout the swing.
● Timing and sequencing of force production.
● Center of Pressure (COP) under each foot and combined throughout the swing and COP trace.
● Pressure distribution throughout the swing. Weight transfer patterns (left/right foot loading).
● Torque generation and sequencing.
● And much more.
Who Benefits?
● Beginners – Learn proper use of ground reaction forces from day one. Faster learning and faster improvement.
● Intermediate Players – Eliminate swing faults and inefficiency tied to poor or improper use of ground reaction forces.
● Advanced Players – Maximize distance, power and efficiency through better force application.
● Injured Players – Identify and correct risky movement patterns.
How It Works:
1. Step on the Smart2Move 3D dual force plates during your swing session.
2. We record your foot forces in 3D – side-to-side, front-to-back, and up-and-down along with companion video.
3. We record simultaneous industry leading Trackman IO data to correlate club and ball data to the force plate captures.
4. You get instant visuals and expert breakdowns from your instructor.
5. We adjust your technique and can potentially suggest drills for improvement and track your progress over time.
The Bottom Line:
You can’t improve what you can’t measure.
Force plate analysis brings clarity and confidence to your golf improvement journey-grounded in science, not guesswork.
Better movement. Better Contact. More speed. More Confidence.

Education Development
Almost 20 years ago we at TPI had foreseen the massive implication of power and ultimately distance would have on the game of golf hence the Power 2 certification was born. Power 2 was crafted as an introduction to power as it pertains to golf and maximizing distance. Power 2 encompasses: the science of power, how to screen an athlete for power potential, training techniques for power, technique maximization for power, club fitting for power and speed and other areas.
Power Level 3 is the culmination of Jason’s and TPI’s nearly two-decade research into increasing distance with golfers. It is unlike any other course offered at TPI or in the industry. Power 3 encompasses: high level focus on training power, strength and speed, deep dive into Kinetics - forces & torques in the golf swing for power, speed, consistency and quality of contact, modifying forces and torques and advanced concepts and methodologies of power.
Not quite 10 years ago Jason was Introduced to the principals of the leading 3D Dual Force Plate company in the golf space, Smart2Move. This relationship spawned an incredible opportunity to research and validate ground reaction force implications to the game of golf and training. This opportunity not only shaped his contributions to TPI but also afforded the ability to have a role in providing quality education through the Smart2Move Level 2 Dual Force Plate Certification Seminars as a contributor and instructor, and the Smart2Move Ground Reaction Force multi-platform education series as a developer and contributor.
