Ground Reaction Force and Golf

The PGA show held its annual best new product showcase in Orlando last week. Nothing like a product fair featuring outdoor sports to help us set our eyes on blue skies and sunshine. Really interesting innovation in the golf space, including one that relates to foot and ankle.

Drive for show …

Mike Forsey, founder of Payntr Golf Global, advocates that an improvement in proprioception will allow the golf athlete to better coil the energy of the backswing and then release with the follow through. Harnessing energy is a great principle and an interesting product idea that directly applies to the foot and ankle surgeon.
