Force Plate Testing
Most golfers know what their swing looks like. Very few know what their body is actually doing to produce it.
The Technology
Objective Data on What The Body Is Actually Doing.
Force plates measure Ground Reaction Forces — the forces your body generates against the ground during movement. In golf, that means measuring exactly how you use the ground through every phase of the swing — address, backswing, transition, downswing, impact, and follow-through.
Most swing analysis tells you what a swing looks like from the outside. Force plate data tells you what the body is actually generating — the forces, timing, and weight distribution that either power the swing or limit it.
That’s the difference between observation and measurement. And measurement is what allows coaches, trainers, and clinicians to build programs that actually address what’s happening — not what it looks like is happening.

What We Measure
Five Data Points That Change What You Know About Your Swing.
Every measurement is objective, real-time, and specific to your body — not an estimate or an observation.
Weight Transfer
How and when you shift pressure from trail foot to lead foot through the swing. Timing and magnitude both measured independently for each foot.
Ground Reaction Force Vectors
The direction and magnitude of the forces your body generates at each phase of the swing — showing how effectively you’re using the ground to create power.
Center of Pressure
Where your weight is concentrated at any point in the swing — revealing balance, stability, and how efficiently you’re loading and unloading through impact.
Rotational Forces
How efficiently you’re generating and transferring rotational power — identifying whether your body is sequencing forces in the right order and at the right time.
Foot Pressure & Stance
Foot flare, stance width, and how each foot is loaded — providing the physical foundation data that underpins every force measurement above.
Performance Over Time
Track and share data across sessions to objectively measure how a player’s ground reaction forces change in response to instruction, training, or treatment.
Who This Is For
Built for Everyone in the Golfer's Circle.
Whether you’re the golfer, the coach, or the professional supporting them — force plate data gives everyone a better foundation to work from.
Golfers
If you want to understand what’s actually happening in your swing — not just what it looks like — force plate data gives you an objective answer. Whether you’re trying to increase distance, improve consistency, or address a physical limitation that’s showing up in your game, the data tells you what your body is actually doing so we can build a specific plan around it.
Golf Professionals
We partner with golf instructors and coaches who want objective physical data alongside their swing analysis. Force plate data identifies the physical causes behind the swing patterns you’re seeing — so your instruction addresses the root cause, not just the symptom. Correlate ground reaction forces directly with club data and ball flight for the most complete picture available.
Fitness Pros & Physical Therapists
We partner with fitness professionals and PTs who work with golfers and want access to objective ground reaction force data to inform their programming. The data we generate can directly inform strength and conditioning plans, movement screens, and rehabilitation protocols — giving your clients a measurable baseline and trackable progress over time.
How We Use It
On the Course, At Your Facility, or In the Clinic.
The Smart2Move plates are portable and wireless — which means we bring the testing to wherever the golfer is. No lab required.
Workshops & On-Course Testing
We bring the Smart2Move plates directly to golf courses, driving ranges, and fitness facilities — partnering with local golf professionals, instructors, and fitness providers to test their players on-site. Data is reviewed in real time and shared with both the player and their coach or trainer to immediately inform instruction and programming.
Individual Golf Assessment
As part of the golf-specific evaluation at Longevity Performance Systems, force plate data is integrated with the TPI movement screen and clinical assessment — giving golfers and their coaches the most complete physical picture available. Physical findings connected directly to swing forces.
Ongoing Performance Tracking
Track a player’s ground reaction forces over time — objectively measuring how forces change in response to instruction, physical training, or clinical treatment. Data that coaches, trainers, and clinicians can all reference from the same baseline.
Partnership Opportunities
Bring Force Plate Testing to Your Players.
We actively partner with golf courses, golf professionals, fitness facilities, and physical therapists throughout the Cedar Park and greater Austin area — bringing objective force plate data directly to your players and clients.
