Company’s First Software Designed for Specific Swing Philosophy
(SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.) K-MOTION – the leader in wearable 3D measurement and biofeedback training solutions for golf, baseball, fitness, physical therapy and beyond – and Graves Golf – the pioneer in single plane golf instruction – have partnered to launch Single Plane 3D K-Coach software to elevate the instruction and training of the legendary Moe Norman’s golf swing.
Single Plane 3D K-Coach is K-MOTION’s first software program designed to support a coach who teaches a specific swing philosophy. Using the company’s advanced 3D measurement and patented biofeedback training, Graves Golf instructors will be able to precisely measure, understand and train their students on the exact positions and movements required to master the single plane swing. The K-Coach hardware and software solution can be purchased here. A K-Player version of the software is also available here. K-MOTION expects to support other coaches and swing philosophies in the future.
While Single Plane 3D K-Coach is rooted in the swing principles of the late Moe Norman, K-MOTION’s flagship product, K-Coach, empowers all golf professionals, regardless of swing philosophy, to better measure, coach and train players. The product allows the coach to understand a student’s movement, plan the precise drills to improve the movement and ensure the drills are trained perfectly every time.
“We are excited to partner with Graves Golf to launch Single Plane 3D K-Coach,” says Michael Chu, K-MOTION CEO. “Our mission is to help every instructor make their players better, faster. Whether it is single plane or any other swing philosophy, we provide the platform and tools to heighten instruction and accelerate student improvement.”
The Graves Golf’s single plane swing method is characterized by a player’s arms and club shaft swinging along one plane throughout the entire swing, which creates an extremely repeatable motion that places less strain on the back. It is taught at golf academies across North America and until now, the company had relied on various video tools to implement its swing principles, which left an incomplete picture for both the coach and the student. By collaborating with K-MOTION, Graves Golf can now provide golfers with real-time feedback based on their movements. The Single Plane 3D K-Coach solution will be rolled out at two-day biomechanics schools across the United States.
“Moe used to call his swing the feeling of greatness,” says Todd Graves, co-founder of Graves Golf and former mentee of Moe Norman. “With Single Plane 3D K-Coach, we finally have a tool that can definitively create the positions and feels that made Moe one of the game’s elite ball strikers. This is an exciting next step for Graves Golf and the game of golf.”
Todd Graves and K-MOTION’s Scott Soderberg will host a webinar on Wednesday, August 15 at 8 p.m. EDT. The interactive experience will introduce the Single Plane 3D K-Coach. Those interested can register at https://learn.singleplaneacademy.com/web-regi-kmotion/.
