Transforming your footwork
can have a significant impact on your shots.

Mechanics are a fundamental aspect of sports.
Athletes who can cultivate their technique and use the ground to their advantage have the edge over others.
In order to obtain such a skill and footwork, it is essential to train your “toes”.
Aim higher by firmly grasping the ground so you can grasp victory.

Utilize the power of the ground to improve your performance.
Increase the strength and distance of your shot.

In sports such as baseball, tennis and golf, it is crucial to maximize the impact when striking the ball.
In order to increase the impact, the key is to apply a force to the ball as much as possible using your muscles in your feet & lower body.
By improving your lower body strength, you can effectively convert the ground resistance to the torque of your swing.

It is your feet that convert the ground reaction force into power.

It is crucial to harness the rebounding force from the ground when generating the power upon the impact.
If you can grasp the ground with your feet and firmly plant yourself on it, the power of your swing will be much greater.
If you are having difficulty hitting strong/long shots despite your upper body being physically fit, your lower body strength might be the reason.

Our Swing-Tatami is perfect for training your lower body.

Our Tatami mat was spotlighted when a Japanese famous professional baseball player used it for his routine practice.
He generated numerous home-runs and those were thanks to this mat, he said.
More and more athletes are starting to incorporate Swing-Tatami into their training and seeing excellent results.

The unique technology of igusa (Japanese soft rush)
manufacturing provides optimum comfort and high durability for longer use.

Ordinary tatami mats used for traditional Japanese floorings has only thin layer of igusa with a core made of compressed straw.
Our Swing-Tatami has a unique layered structure made entirely of igusa using our exclusive technology.
This makes the mat extremely sturdy & durable, and you can practice for a long time without getting sore in your sole.
