The golf swing is a highly co-ordinated and complex motion that minimally requires good stance, posture and grip.
While studying the foot biomechanics involved during these movements, it is helpful to divide the golf swing into phases - set up, takeaway, downswing, impact and follow-through.
Set up requires an even distribution of weight on both feet, with slightly more weight placed on the medial aspects of the balls of the feet.
The transition from set up to takeaway (backswing) sees a lateral to medial force shift in the lead foot. More pressure is placed on the inside of this foot while the back foot (or trail foot) stays stable with an increase in lateral forces ................
