'SensoGlove' Monitors Golfers' Grip Pressure Level in Real-Time

by Caleb Johnson on September 28, 2010 at 08:26 AM

Sensor-lined golf glove monitors grip pressure.
If we ever have a prayer at being a decent golfer, we'll need a little help from our old buddy technology. Since the seasoned golf pros we know personally claim that grip is key to a perfect swing, this $89 golf glove, which gives a digital readout of your grip's pressure level, might be a good place for us to start. Ideally, a golfer wants to keep a light grip on the club, which leads to better accuracy on a shot. According to Engadget, the SensoGlove is outfitted with a bunch of sensors that read how tightly or loosely your hands and individual fingers are gripping the club, and displays the data in real-time on a 1.2-inch LED monitor sewn into the back of the leather glove. Would the SensoGlove help us to take down Tiger Woods, or Bill Murray even? No, but when our average score is in the triple digits, we'll take any help we can get.
