How Better Force Management Creates More Speed in Golf

At the Smart2Move booth during the PGA Show 2026, Michael Dutro shares powerful insights on how force plates can help coaches better understand speed, pressure shift, torque, and movement patterns in the golf swing. In this talk, Michael explains why many common swing issues are not just club path or face angle problems, but force and torque management problems. He dives into how foot structure can influence AP force production, why lead-side mechanics matter for speed, and how golfers often create energy too late in the swing. He also discusses how equipment can affect force patterns, especially for juniors and players using shafts that are too stiff or too heavy. On top of that, he shares practical coaching ideas and drills to help players improve lead-side loading, vertical torque, pressure transfer, and overall sequencing. This is a great session for golf coaches, players, and anyone interested in using Smart2Move force plates to connect biomechanics with real coaching solutions.
