Golf Swing Meets High-Tech: GOSWO Visits stappone
We were delighted to welcome an exciting guest to stappone in Vienna: Daniel Lauer, founder of GOSWO (Golf Swing Optimizer). His mission: to make the perfect and healthy golf swing measurable and optimizable by combining his training equipment with stappone’s intelligent sensor insoles.
Data That Makes the Golf Swing Visible
Daniel Lauer supports golfers on their way to achieving the ideal swing – based on the well-known “Stack & Tilt” method. This training approach focuses on precise body movements, weight control, and rotational dynamics. To scientifically prove the effectiveness of his method, hard data is essential and that’s where the stappone sensor insoles come into play.
“If players have no limits in their movement execution, they cannot find the ideal swing,” explains Lauer.
In golf, multiple forces act simultaneously and making them visible and understandable is a true challenge.
“It has to be testable haptically, acoustically, and visually. With our devices alone, we can’t fully capture that,” adds the GOSWO founder.
The stappone sensor insoles measure the weight distribution on the feet in real time, revealing how even small adjustments in stance or hip movement can significantly impact the entire golf swing.
Our colleague Maria used the stappone sensor soles during a training session with Daniel Lauer (GOSWO).
Training with High-Tech Feedback
Our team also had the chance to experience the GOSWO method firsthand. With stappone sensor insoles on her feet, our colleague Maria completed an intensive training session with Daniel Lauer. Over the course of about two hours, her golf swing was analyzed and optimized using visual and acoustic feedback, including mirrors, GOSWO training tools and the sensor insoles.
From proper stance to knee and hip positioning, body tension and arm movement, every aspect of her swing was reviewed. Particularly impressive was the pressure distribution measurement, which clearly showed how force transmission differs between “incorrect” and “correct” movements.
Maria summarized her experience: “It was fascinating to see how my own perception aligned with the visual and digital analyses and how sometimes the results were surprising.”
Joint Development with Future Potential
stappone CEO Peter Krimmer is also enthusiastic about the collaboration:
“Daniel Lauer provides us with valuable feedback and input that we can directly incorporate into our ongoing product development.”
GOSWO and stappone demonstrate how technology and sports science can work hand in hand to set new standards: for greater precision, improved performance and healthier movement patterns in golf.
