Golf is a sport of precision and control. A foot with hypermobility will impair the ability of the golfer to control their body during their swing and will have a negative impact upon the game.

During a golf swing, there are a series of events that must occur, each with proper timing. When addressing the ball the feet are both in a midstance phase, During the back swing and the swing, the body needs to rotate without swaying. The back foot will need to first supinate with external rotation of the rear leg, and then pronate with internal rotation of the rear leg. The forefoot initially pronates with the backswing and then supinates with the swing.

Golf Orthotics need to be able to control the feet so that hypermobility does not interfere with the ability of the foot to suponate, but they must have the flexibility to allow pronation when needed to allow for proper rotation of the body during the golf swing.

When producing an orthotic it is extremely important to know the body mass of the golfer. Choice of the proper shell material and of the appropriate thickness is the key to an orthotic that will allow a golfer to have better control of their swing.

At Fiber we understand this, therefore we do not have a standard "GOLF" orthotic. We look at your prescription, we look at the patient information that you provide, and we produce the orthotic that is best suited to your patients.
