I've just returned from the 2002 PGA Teaching Summit in Port St. Lucie, Florida where 1,000 PGA teaching professionals gathered to share the latest in teaching techniques and new technology.
The PGA Learning Center featured the Dynamic Balance System that can capture the power generating constraining force that is felt but never seen in the golf swing. The force can now be viewed on a monitor for your review and comparison to the Top PGA Tour players in the world. Martin Hall, a well respected PGA instructor compared the DBS to an MRI, whereas video replay would be a simple x-ray. In short, the DBS is so sensitive that sensors can reveal the source of flaws in your swing that the human eye cannot see. The DBS or Dynamic Balance System measures how efficient your feet and legs resist your upper body rotation in the swing. It is similar to an electrical circuit of power that is transmitted up through the feet, through the center of gravity, and then out the club head. If this circuit of power or centripetal force is disrupted, it will be re-created very clearly on a computer monitor, allowing you tom make the necessary corrections.
The Dynamic Balance System has been distributed across the world over the past several years. Venues such as Pebble Beach in California and the PGA Learning Center believe it to be an excellent teaching aid. The Jim Dent & Rick Bradshaw School of Golf in Tampa and North Palm Beach have the DBS and offer DBS days for you to see if your power generator is operating at full charge.
