Seattle golf fitness expert Mike Litke, Certified Athletic Trainer and Manager at Seattle’s Body Balance for Performance, has announced the implementation of the Dynamic Balance System (DBS) in the Redmond and Bellevue Body Balance centers, servicing the greater Seattle, WA area. The DBS uses technology developed for NASA to help golfers improve their golf swing and overall balance.

(PRWEB) August 2, 2006 -- Mike Litke, Body Balance for Performance Manager and Seattle area golf fitness expert, is pleased to announce the arrival of the Dynamic Balance System at the Redmond and Bellevue Body Balance for Performance branches.

The Dynamic Balance System (DBS) is a precise instructional tool designed to monitor the golfer's center of gravity while providing immediate visual and audio feedback. The Seattle golf fitness experts and physical therapists will work with golfers to improve their swing, distance, accuracy, and overall game using the DBS.

The (DBS) shows you exactly how and where your weight is balanced throughout your golf swing

While providing immediate visual feedback, the DBS specifically monitors the body’s center of gravity. The system allows you the chance to see, in graphic detail, how you maintain your balance throughout your swing. A golf fitness specialist will then explain how your body’s limitations influence these movements.

I used (the DBS) system at the PGA Learning Center and loved the feedback with the beeping sounds when my weight went on my toes. I learn by sound the best and this corrected my balance in about three minutes!

the condition of the body is important to be the best golfer you can be.

The DBS utilizes testing and training techniques originally developed for NASA and the medical field. Advanced Forceplate Technology provides feedback on the golfer’s weightbearing and weightshift dynamically during the motion of the golf swing and while standing ready at the tee. Students learn kinesthetic awareness--the "feel" of their motion--and how to improve their balance and overall golf fitness.

"The (DBS) shows you exactly how and where your weight is balanced throughout your golf swing," said Litke. "While providing immediate visual feedback, the DBS specifically monitors the body’s center of gravity. The system allows you the chance to see, in graphic detail, how you maintain your balance throughout your swing. A golf fitness specialist will then explain how your body’s limitations influence these movements."

The DBS is able to monitor right/left, heel/toe, and rotational movements while recording the motion of the student's center of gravity (COG) in real-time.

Jess Frank, PGA Professional, said, "I used (the DBS) system at the PGA Learning Center and loved the feedback with the beeping sounds when my weight went on my toes. I learn by sound the best and this corrected my balance in about three minutes!"
