IJGA Announces the
Installation of Swing
Catalyst 3D Motion
Plate & Studio

Academies in the World to Debut
Swing Analysis System
It’s all about creating speed and power. It’s why the
tour pros like Rory McIlroy, Dustin Johnson and Justin
Thomas are able to drive the ball so much further
than the average player. With today’s science and
technology of golf’s newest training equipment, players
are able to measure and analyze their balance, torque
and ground force reaction and parlay that knowledge
into achieving greater distance. By pinpointing exactly
where in their swing they need to make adjustments,
golfers are able to make changes in their balance
pressure, producing the greatest results.
Plate) and a highly advanced force plate to measure
torque and ground force generated during a golf
swing. The synchronization of the 3D Motion Plate with
high speed video images result in data used by players
to analyze foot pressure, center of pressure (CoP),
vertical and horizontal forces, ground reaction and
rotational force.
“Modern coaching is using fact, not guesswork or
opinion, to influence performance,” said Jonathan
Yarwood, IJGA Director of Golf. “The Swing Catalyst
3D Motion Plate Studio combined with our launch
monitor technology takes all the guesswork out of it.
It shows the coach what the naked eye could never
see. It allows informed decisions to be made in order
to use physics, which will create a new generation of
golf athletes who can control and propel the ball to
their maximum capabilities. It’s not a step forward in
coaching, it’s a leap and a bound. I’m grateful to be
exposed to it.”
By creating a strong foundation, sound principals and
high-tech analytics, players are getting the most out of
their game with the assistance of today’s technology,
tools and resources such as the Swing Catalyst 3D
Motion Plate.
IJGA recently installed one of golf’s industry’s newest
and most advanced swing analysis measuring devices,
the Swing Catalyst 3D Motion Plate. IJGA is one of two
junior golf academies in the world to install this world-
class swing analysis system.
This state-of-the-art equipment is a unique
combination of pressure plate technology (Balance

The IJGA Swing Catalyst 3D Motion Plate Studio is
part of the $2 million recently renovated IJGA 20,000
square-foot Performance Training Center on IJGA’s
gated campus. The Studio houses the Motion Plate,
hitting bay, large-screen monitor, video projector and
will be available to all Academy students to improve
their performance under the direction of Academy
coaches.
