Description
Feet start the golf swing, but most golf training pays them little mind. Belotti and co-authors test a foot-focused drill in a 2026 pilot study with twenty-five skilled golfers. Each golfer swung before the drill, right after it, and again a few minutes later, using the new foot actions in the last two rounds.
Sensors tracked club and ball motion plus force through the feet. The drill trained balance sense and push-off in the feet, which start the chain of motion up the body. Early results in the study point to changes in swing form and output after the drill. The authors treat the work as a first step and call for larger tests.
