GECKO Motion Golf Insoles - Performance study

Conclusion

With individual GECKO Motion Golf Insoles the golfer's positioning and posture is enhanced and increases the dynamic of the golfer dramatically. By reducing the micro-movement of the foot the golfer achieves a higher level of mental concentration. The complete system of the golfer is focused on the swing, right at that moment of the hit without paying attention to negative influences of the golfer's mechanical apparatus.

Additional benefit

• power distribution with respect to orthopaedic considerations:
  • the golfer is walking around a lot during a game,
  • his feet are getting increasingly tired,
  • or may even start to pain.

The individual force distribution of GECKO Motion Golf Insoles is a preventive action the golfer can take to get tired less rapidly.

Left foot
without GECKO Motion Golf Insoles:

In the area of the foot ball ground response forces concentrate, predominantly in tue outer parts of the foot balls, as well as in the middle and front toe lobes. This indicates an un-relaxed and cramped posture of the front part of the foot lobes. This causes an imprecision that migrates from the inner to the outer lobes of the foot ball. The inner lobe of the left foot is almost unused. The focal point line across the left foot is mainly moving in tue region of the 3-5 middle toe bones. This causes constantly micro-movements of the foot and knee joint to over-compensate for the instability.

Right foot
without GECKO Motion Golf Insoles:

The right foot exhibits a good dynamic with no load of the interior ball taking place in the Force-Time Integral. Due to the rotation of the foot over the outside - and - middle ball area onto the toes a circular-outward movement develops toward the knee joint. Therefore, portions of the movement energy and of tue swing-momentum is not optimally transferred. Around tue Center of Gravity this imbalance is observed in form of a slight arch during the critical momentum phase of the swing.

Left foot
with GECKO Motion Golf Insoles:

The Force-Time Integral shows that GECKO Motion Golf Insoles evenly distribute the ground responsive force on the entire left foot. Because of this even force distribution the foot experiences an optimal standing posture and relaxedness. The Line of Gravity is located in the area of the middle-foot section. Our tests reveal the Center of Gravity going through the knee-joint, which optimizes the player's stand.

Right foot
with GECKO Motion Golf Insoles:

The right foot is almost optimal with respect to the dynamics of the swing. The Force-Time Integral indicates a movement from the heal toward the toes via Inner, Outer and Middle Foot Balls. In the area of the toes a peak in force is revealed, which is highly warranted in golfing. The line of gravity from the heal to the large toe area is almost straight, indicating a fast and unwavering dynamic movement.
