Ryan Holley: The Science Behind Your Golf Swing | Ground Forces, Power & Technology

<p>What if the secret to more power and consistency in your golf swing starts beneath your feet?</p><p>PGA of Canada Class “A” Professional <strong>Ryan Holley</strong> joins Steve Tees Off for a fascinating deep dive into the science of the golf swing, ground reaction forces, biomechanics and the technology changing how golfers understand their movement.</p><p>Ryan specializes in analyzing how golfers interact with the ground — when they apply force, how much they generate, and how the timing and direction of that force influence body rotation, clubhead speed, club delivery and ball flight.</p><p>Using technology such as force plates and launch monitors, Ryan helps golfers understand what&#39;s really happening in their swing rather than relying on guesswork.</p><p>His work has included advising <strong>Nick Taylor</strong> and working with elite players, including Tony Finau, J.J. Spaun and Michael Gligic.</p><p>In this episode, Steve and Ryan explore:</p><ul><li>Why your golf swing starts from the ground up</li><li>What force plates reveal that traditional video analysis may miss</li><li>How ground reaction forces influence power, speed and consistency</li><li>The difference between pressure, balance and force</li><li>Why copying another golfer&#39;s swing isn&#39;t always the answer</li><li>What everyday golfers can learn from Tour-level swing analysis</li><li>How data and technology can help identify what you actually need to improve</li><li>The future of golf coaching and biomechanics</li></ul><p><br></p><p>We also discuss Ryan&#39;s journey from Southwestern Ontario to British Columbia, the challenges facing junior golf in BC, and what it will take to develop the next generation of Canadian PGA Tour and LPGA Tour players.</p><p>Whether you&#39;re a competitive golfer, a golf coach or a weekend player looking to better understand your own swing, this conversation goes beyond conventional golf tips and into the mechanics behind better ball striking.</p><p><strong>Learn more about Ryan Holley:</strong></p><p><a href="https://ryanholleygolf.com/">https://ryanholleygolf.com/</a></p><p>Follow <strong>Steve Tees Off</strong> on Spotify for more golf stories, tips and conversations with the people shaping the game.</p><p><strong>Brought to you by: RiversideGolf.ca and Kings Links by the Sea</strong></p>
