Hold on, we're almost done...

The forces driving your students' swing are now visible

See how force and pressure shape every movement

The Swing Catalyst Motion Plate is the only single plate system that combines studio-grade pressure analysis with full 3D ground reaction force measurement. Vertical force, shear force, torque, and CoP are all captured simultaneously at 1,000 Hz. See the physics of every swing, not just the pattern.

Complete ground analysis

One plate. The full picture.

Most coaching systems show you where pressure goes. The Motion Plate shows you the forces creating that pressure. Combining high-resolution pressure sensors with a high-precision force plate, it simultaneously captures CoP patterns, heat maps, vertical ground reaction force, horizontal shear force, torque, and free moment — everything happening between your student's feet and the ground, in one synchronized data stream. This is the level of analysis that separates elite coaching from good coaching.

Built for serious instruction

Why coaches choose the Balance Plate

1,000 Hz sampling

Ten times the sampling rate of standard pressure plates. Capture every millisecond of the swing — including the transition spike that pressure-only systems miss.

One cable. Two data streams.

Pressure and force data come through a single USB connection, synchronized to the millisecond. No separate systems, no alignment headaches.

Deeper power analysis

Identify exactly where power leaks happen — and prove to students when a technique change generates measurably more force at impact.

6-axis force measurement

Vertical force, horizontal shear (X and Y), torque, and free moment — the complete biomechanical picture of how your student loads and unloads the ground.

Six metrics. One plate.

vertical-force.jpg

Measure how hard your student loads the ground. Track the vertical ground reaction force through the entire swing cycle. Identify loading patterns, timing of peak force, and power transfer efficiency — the metrics that separate distance from consistency.

See the full weight shift story. Real-time center of pressure movement, captured alongside force data. See not just where pressure goes, but what forces are driving it — and when they peak relative to the swing sequence.

horizontal-shear-force.jpg

Unlock the power of lateral force. Measure the horizontal forces your student pushes against the ground. Lateral shear is one of the strongest predictors of clubhead speed — and one of the hardest things to teach without data.

heat-mapping-torque.jpg
The complete foot picture. High-resolution pressure distribution combined with rotational force measurement. See how your student rotates against the ground, where they generate twisting force, and how efficiently they transfer it through the kinetic chain.

"I've used Swing Catalyst for years and I've never seen the data come up on screen where I disagree with it. It's batting 1,000 — I trust the data."

Upgrading from a pressure system?

The Motion Plate is the natural next step for coaches who've maxed out what pressure data can tell them. It uses the same Swing Catalyst Pro+ software and integrates with your existing camera and launch monitor setup. Our team will help you configure the upgrade with zero downtime.

Common questions

The Balance Plate measures pressure only — center of pressure, heat maps, and balance traces. The Motion Plate combines pressure with a full force plate, adding vertical force, horizontal shear force, torque, and free moment at 1,000 Hz. It's a significant analytical step up.

Yes. The same ground reaction force measurement used in biomechanics labs and by professional tour players is built into the Motion Plate — in a studio-ready form factor.

Force and pressure data synchronize with your video feeds and launch monitor data frame by frame inside Swing Catalyst Pro+ software. All data streams appear in one timeline.

Each plate weighs 29 kg (63.9 lb). The Motion Plate is designed for studio installation rather than portability. If you need a portable force+pressure solution, contact our sales team to discuss options.

2-year warranty on pressure components, 1-year warranty on force plate components, plus extended ESA options.
