Kinetic Chain Science

Power Starts at Your Feet.
Most Golfers Lose It by the Hips.

A pro's swing generates force from the ground and transfers it through 5 body segments in 250ms. The average amateur leaks 40% of that energy through poor sequencing. Now you can see exactly where.

GROUND REACTION FORCE

Every great swing pushes the earth first.

Force starts at the ground. Leg muscles push into the turf, creating ground reaction force. That force travels up through a precise sequence of muscle activations — the kinetic chain.

ENERGY TRANSFER

Each segment must peak before the next starts.

Like cracking a whip — each segment accelerates, peaks, then decelerates while the next segment picks up the energy. The timing gaps between peaks are 20-50ms. Invisible to human perception. Measurable by our sensors.

HOW WE MEASURE

IMU captures the timing.
EMG reveals the force.

4 IMU sensors track angular velocity at each segment. 4 EMG sensors measure muscle activation intensity. Together, they map both the HOW and the WHY of your energy transfer chain.

IMU — Motion Timing

  • 1666Hz sampling rate
  • <10ms timing precision
  • Peak angular velocity per segment
  • Segment peak timing gaps

EMG — Muscle Force

  • 1000Hz sampling rate
  • <5ms activation precision
  • Muscle activation intensity (%)
  • Firing order verification
