SensoGlove
Get a (better) Grip
If you watched any part of the final round of the recent U.S. Open, then you certainly witnessed how pressure and stress can derail a golf swing. This generally manifests itself in two forms: faster swing tempo and an increase in grip pressure. Today, we tackle grip pressure (note: Dusty and Torrey will take on swing tempo in a few weeks) with the SensoGove.
Read on to get the full, smooth-swinging benefits.
When you squeeze your golf club with a death grip, you unleash a chain reaction that can destroy your swing, erode your power, and make consistency nearly impossible. Squeezing with your hands engages the muscles in your forearms and brings added tension to your shoulders, all of which are pivotal body parts for a fluid swing. Watch a pro hitting balls and you’ll see that their arms look like limp spaghetti. Watch your buddy try and kill a drive and you’re likely to see the veins in his neck bulge. Clearly, tension free is the way to go.
A few minutes a day with the SenoGlove and you’ll easily learn what proper grip pressure feels like. We’ve all heard the advice, “hold it like a baby bird.” Seriously? You may start out with a soft grip only to have it tighten up somewhere mid-swing. The SensoGlove gives you instant feedback at the very moment you squeeze too hard. With its built in digital computer, the SenoGlove allows you to calibrate the pressure sensors to your base grip (not all of us are going to be comfortable with the exact same grip pressure) and the glove will then alert you when you have exceeded that during your swing. It can actually pinpoint the source of the problem down to the finger where your grip pressure went off the rails.
The digital computer is removable, so when the glove wears out simply buy a replacement glove and reattach the computer.
Cost: $89 | Replacement Glove $22
