Continental’s BAL.ON Smart Kit provides golfers with real-time swing analysis and coaching using 2mm-thin pressure-sensing insoles and an artificial intelligence (AI)–powered smartphone app, to efficiently guide users to a better swing and lower scores. The kit consists of a pair of pressure insoles that are inserted into the golf shoes, Bluetooth smart pods, and a smartphone app. Relying on pressure data and AI, it provides real-time analysis and coaching. BAL.ON captures information invisible to human eyes.
Good swing technique involves interacting with the ground. The BAL.ON heatmap shows the user how they shift their weight during the golf swing. Quite literally, it unveils the footprint of their motion, as the feet mark the beginning of the golf swing’s kinetic chain. This chain goes throughout the entire body. Consequently, pressure patterns can help spot where the user differs from the “corridor of the ideal” in their motion.
