In the 1980’s, huge improvements were made in golf club design and construction. Most of those improvements increased both forgiveness (the ability of the golf club to compensate for swing error — and the golf ball to go straighter) and distance (the ability of the golf club to hit harder — and the golf ball to go farther). The object of the game is to hit straighter and farther, so golf clubs designed to do that are called game improvement golf clubs. The primary characteristics of game improvement clubs are perimeter weighting, large sweet spot and low center of gravity design.

Sensosolutions, a leading provider of innovative IT systems for sports analysis, motion and performance measurement, announced today a new version of SensoGlove, the world’s first digital golf glove.

The new advanced SensoGlove now offers a longer battery life and increased sensitivity for a more accurate pressure read to ensure a consistently smooth and powerful golf swing for greater distance and lower scores.  Just in time for the holidays, the new version of SensoGlove was created based on feedback from international PGA professionals.

WORKING ON A WORLD-CLASS SWING

If you didn’t know who was hitting the ball, the distinctive swings of guys like Bubba Watson, Dustin Johnson and Jim Furyk might give you pause before you realize you’re looking at a top-50 player. But when you see Masters champion Charl Schwartzel’s swing, there doesn’t seem to be any other possibility. “I remember five years ago watching him win the South African tour’s Order of Merit [he won it in 2005-'07 and 2010] and thinking, He has one of the best swings I’ve ever seen–classic and powerful,” says Chuck Cook, No. 6 on Golf Digest’s 50 Best Teachers in America. “Back then, I thought he could be the real deal, and we’d see him winning major championships soon.”

Golf clubs are the tools we use to strike the golf ball. A golf club has three components — the Head, the Shaft and the Grip. The rules of golf constrain golf club designs, but the goal of clubmakers is to create golf clubs, within those constraints that maximize the physics behind a golfer’s swing while allowing for some range of swing error to provide an accurate, long, and forgiving shot. The better your swing, the less forgiving club you require whereas the more your swing needs work, the better off you are with a more forgiving club design.
