Science and Motion Sports announces new BalanceLab product

Science and Motion Sports, LLC., announced the release of it’s new BalanceLab product at the SAM PuttLab User’s Group Conference being held at Cog Hill Golf and Country Club. Taken out of the Biomedical Technology industry, the new force and weight distribution technology is now available to golf instructors and golf schools worldwide.

SALINE, Mich. -- Science and Motions Sports LLC, based out of Saline Michigan, has announced the release of the new SAM BalanceLab for general distribution. The USA based venture responsible for the sales and distribution of the SAM PuttLab introduced the new technology at the first Annual SAM Users Group Meeting & Certification Seminar being held at Cog Hill Country Club in Chicago. Because weight distribution and weight transfer are paramount to the development of a fundamentally sound golf swing, the Balance Lab will provide both teacher and student a technology tool to more quickly and effectively enhance the learning process.

SAM Balance Lab is the most accurate weight transfer technology analysis available to the golf industry. The Balance Lab technology works by measuring static and dynamic foot pressure and distribution, before and during the golf swing. Unlike previous force plate systems that only are comprised of four to six sensors and render data two dimensionally, the BalanceLab system uses over 2500 individual sensors and gives highly precise readings for center of gravity, load distribution, and torsion analysis. The BalanceLab displays results in a user friendly comprehensive report in both 2D & 3D graphical presentations. In the standard package the BalanceLab is also equipped with a video-synchronization output for time synchronization with a video camera.

Mike Olsen, Managing Director of Science and Motion Sports LLC states “The BalanceLab is an important advancement in the ability to analyze human movement during the golf swing. BalanceLab is able to provide meaningful and intuitive analytic feedback of static posture and dynamic movement with a resolution never before seen in golf instruction. Based on the advance orders already received, we strongly believe that the game’s best and most influential coaches will utilize BalanceLab within their instruction protocols.

Science and Motion Sports is a company that through it’s research efforts in combining physiological, mathematical, and psychological concepts, have revolutionized the understanding of the putting stroke by golf authorities the world over. Science and Motion Sports has blended these discoveries with the most modern procedures of measuring human movement and developed innovative concepts and technologies to assist golfers with the improvement of the putting stroke, the most important element in the game of golf. With the introduction of the BalanceLab, SAM Sports has extended it’s technologies to all areas of game improvement.
