Foot pressure ¶

Hi Tyler,

Do you have a video or describe where the foot pressure is at different positions in the swing. Seem to be "falling forward" at end of swing it seems.

Thanks.

This video shows an animation of the foot ground reaction forces. Just looking at pressure doesn't give a lot to go off of, but looking at the direction of the forces applied to the ground is more useful.

This video digs into the concept of Center of Pressure vs Center of Mass. It might help with your question as well.

What an excellent video, thank you Tyler. Would you feel it in different portions of your foot at the different positions in the swing. ie: have heard inside trail foot in takeaway (but is it front or back or balanced), and then where does it go from there?

+Sam K My goal with this forum is more videos and pictures. They are easier to communicate than with words :)

I hope this helps!
