SensoGlove - the first golf glove that teaches you how to swing
Ξ August 11th, 2008 | → | ∇ Gadgets |
Germany company SensoSolutions has come up with the first ever sensor-equipped gloving glove that checks the pressure of your grip. The SensoGlove reckons it can improve your swing by helping you maintain a lighter grip with its built-in digital computer with LCD readout.
Sensors are built into strategic areas of the glove to provide sensory feedback for the computer monitor. They have been designed to be soft and flexible so you don’t notice they are there, and they are resistant to sweat, dirt and the inevitable rain that will build up while you play.
Naturally, the T3 offices are deserted by Friday lunchtime as we all hit the local 18 holes to improve our handicaps, so we understand full well that maintaining a lighter grip pressure is the key to improving your stroke, granting greater distance and enhanced precision from each swing. If you’re throttling the club like it’s a Kowakian Monkey-Lizard, the SensoGlove provides an audible feedback and the readout shows you which fingers are to blame.
And if you’re very good, the idea is that you might even be able to catch the warning mid-swing and compose yourself accordingly, thus giving you a unique opportunity to rescue a bodged shot. If you’re not that good - well, with a bit of luck, it might stop you pinging golf balls off the driving range barriers or sending chunks of fairway skyward along with your ball. You have a choice of 18 different pressure profiles that you can adjust to suit how you play, and to use while chipping and putting.
SensoGlove is available for men and women in a range of sizes; you can order one now for £49.95. Next time, we’re hoping that SensoSolutions can include a GPS ball locator in the glove as well - then it would have one of our more pressing swing *ahem* concerns sorted as well.
