With the BAL.ON Smart Kit, you can get instant feedback on your swing — and suggestions on how to fix the flaws.

Shifting your weight correctly during the golf swing is crucial if you want to get the most out of your game. If you’re off by just a touch it can lead to disastrous results.

In the past, to get in-depth feedback on how you shift your weight and pressure, you had to visit a swing coach with high-tech equipment. Thanks to a nifty new training aid, though, that’s changing.

Enter the BAL.ON Smart Kit. This high-tech training aid — produced by German multinational company Continental — utilizes pressure soles and hardware attached to your shoes to give you instant feedback on key golf-swing metrics.

BAL.ON Smart Kit

The Smart Kit utilizes two key components for feedback: Force Sensing Resistors which are inserted in your shoes, and smart pods that are worn on the outside of your footwear. On every swing, the FSRs send pressure data from your feet to the smart pods which then relay the information to the app on your smart phone. From there, you can compare your numbers against player data and even data points from Tour pros.

The app also features a coaching function that will give you specific drills to practice based on your numbers, taking all the guesswork out of improvement.

If you’re someone who can’t make the time to get to a swing studio for a lesson, this product is perfect for you. Just fire up your phone, put the sensors in your shoes and make a few swings. Moments later you’ll have instant feedback and a path to improvement.
