Why You Need the Force Board Pro
You Aren't Stable Enough to Swing Fast
You can only swing as fast as your body can stabilize. Balance and stability are critical to a consistent, powerful golf swing. With the Force Board Pro, you can train balance, stability, proprioception, and much more.
Not Enough Ground Force = Short Drives
The best players in the world create efficient ground reaction forces in their swing, producing a powerful, repeatable motion. With the Force Board Pro, you can train all the key elements of ground reaction forces.
You Don't Have a Training Plan
The Force Board Pro includes access to multiple levels of training protocols for balance, stability, and ground reaction forces. You will never be lost on what to work on next.

Can I place attachments on either side?
Yes. Add attachments on the bottom to create different difficulty levels of balance and stability drills, or put attachments on top for a variety of ground reaction force drills. Our training protocols walk you through all of this.
I want to hit the ball farther. Will this help?
That is exactly why we created the Force Board Pro. A lot of golfers are not stable enough, or do not generate enough ground reaction forces, to swing faster. You need both to increase swing speed and hit the ball farther.
Can you hit balls while standing on it?
Yes, you can, and we encourage it. Our protocols include some drills that have you hitting balls while using the Force Board Pro.
Where can the Force Board be used?
It can be used on turf in a hitting bay, indoors on a floor, or outside at the range.
