BODITRAK, an industry leader in pressure sensors and ground force mechanics, has appointed Guildford-based Optimum Golf Technologies as its exclusive distributor in the UK and Ireland market.
The Canadian company is a market leader in force & pressure-sensors in the golf market offering portable, affordable, indoor/outdoor technology allowing users to create a solid foundation for their golf swing. Through an IOS app, BODITRAK offers fully integrated video and data-based performance analysis to help teaching professionals convey real time interaction with the ground before and during the golf swing.
BODITRAK’s wireless systems scan the surface of its 3-layer smart fabric Vector mat or plate over a hundred times per second, demonstrating precisely how a golfer applies pressure to the ground from heel to toe and lead to trail leg. From the resulting feedback, the golfer can be advised on the most solid set up position at address and optimise kinetic movements throughout the swing itself for more consistent, accurate and powerful shots.
To help users best interpret the data provided, BODITRAK offers its own training certification in ground force mechanics designed by Mark Blackburn and Dr. Sasho Mackenzie, two of the leading minds in the industry – more info at www.myboditrak.com
It has partnered with FootJoy, and also presents at seminars run by TPI, the world’s leading education organisation dedicated to the study of how the body functions in relation to the golf swing. There are more than 20,000 TPI-certified professionals in 63 countries assisting players of all skill levels.
