Patented Digital Golf Glove Instantly Corrects Grip for Continuous Real-TimeSensosolutions, a leading provider of innovative sports analysis, motion and performance measurement systems, have developed the world's first golf glove with built-in digital sensors. The SensoGlove, evolved by the GmbH German-based company function by continuously reading the user's grip pressure to ensure a consistently accurate, smooth and powerful golf swing.
"SensoGlove avoids the Death Grip"
The death grip, a common term known among most avid golfers, is when a golfer has the high hopes of hitting the ball further. Thus, the natural instinct is to swing faster and harder to make this happen. Studies have showed that when golfers try to make this happen, it has the opposite effect; when one tries to swing their club that much harder, their grip tightens up, meaning their muscles tighten up, which in effect, surprisingly slows down the golfer's swing. SensoGlove looks to eliminate that. By constantly providing feedback at 80 times per second, the glove ensures golfers have a clean and powerful swing.
The only issue I see with the glove is the possibility of it interfering with the golfer's swing. From personal experience, I can definitely say that something like a watch can definitely impair your swing. So, I am only wondering how much this digital reader interferes the the swing. The one advantage the SensoGlove DOES have is that the actual digital reader is removable, so the it CAN be used as a regular golf glove.
Golfs cool. I'm not really sure if it should qualify as a sport though
ReplyDeleteits a cool idea but it sounds expensive. If it could read your swing and do more than just tell you about your grip it would be a lot better
