Golf instructors sign up for SensoGlove

The glove gives feedback on grip pressure in real-time, and can be used with or without a teacher to help golfers of all levels of ability achieve the correct grip.
One of the golf instructors involved in the programme, Mark Durland of Naples Grande Golf Club in Florida, has said of the product: “Many of the students we teach struggle with grip pressure. More than 90% of our students grip the club too tight. Until now, it has been a challenge to communicate proper grip pressure to a student. SensoGlove gives the student immediate feedback and creates a feeling of the proper grip pressure. I recommend SensoGlove to any student.”
SensoGlove’s small, sweat-proof 1.2-inch LED digital monitor analyses the pressure of the swing through sensors placed throughout the glove. A swing of the golf club is enough to receive real-time audio and visual feedback at 80 times per second that warn you if you are exceeding your target level of grip pressure. The glove even shows you which fingers are gripping too tightly, so you can adjust your grip accordingly.
“Golfers know that grip pressure is a big issue, but before SensoGlove, they could not get objective feedback, especially not in real time,” said David Bauer, president of the German technology provider. “Many golfers think they are playing with a light grip pressure, but when they start the swing, the grip pressure increases unconsciously. So when a teacher tells the student to keep the pressure below a certain level with SensoGlove’s numbered system, the student knows exactly what they mean.”
