SAM BalanceLab (Science and Motion) sessions are under the personal supervision of Matt Bolton.

Bolton Performance Golf operates from a custom-built teaching facility. Located on the practice range at Rosebud Country Club, it has all you need.  A two hundred plus metre driving range, chipping and putting and practice bunker.

Matt is a SAM BalanceLab Certified Putting Instructor. SAM BalanceLab, is the world’s leading teaching aid for swing analysis. Installed in 2018 at the Bolton Performance Golf academy. The data will help Matt analyse the weight transfer in your golf swing. The SAM BalanceLab takes the guesswork out of balance transfer. Using facts to analyse your golf swing.

Using technology to improve your game

SAM BalanceLab displays this as an animated graph. It indicates both location and transfer of weight throughout the swing

We use the academy hitting area for SAM BalanceLab sessions.  SAM BalanceLab measures:

• Force directed through the ground through different stages of the swing
• The exact amount of pressure in any given area of the foot
• Centre of pressure calculations throughout the swing

SAM BalanceLab has a high resolution pressure plate to evaluate balance and weight transfer. We record the pressure signals and synchronized video in parallel. Matt analyses this in detail. Poor balance and irregular weight shift can be unhelpful. Responsible for swing flaws resulting in an undesired outcome of the shot. SAM BalanceLab can help fix issues with poor posture.

SAM BalanceLab has proven pressure plate technology. 2560 sensors in total. linked to 2D/3D display of pressure data. It gives left/right foot and heel/toe balance analysis. with replay and graphical report modules. It has centre of pressure and weight transfer analysis with synchronized video recording.

Once the analysis is complete, Matt will build a plan for you using the training module. Improvements in balance and weight data display on the big screens. Force plate technology confirms that balance is a huge part of a great golf swing. Matt can help you crunch the numbers and improve your game.
