Get a Grip: Smart Swing To Launch Revolutionary Grip Pressure Measurement Tool

POSTED ON April 26, 2023 @ 5:39 pm

Grip pressure is a critical yet often overlooked factor in the golf swing. Many golfers underestimate its significance and end up gripping their club too tightly, resulting in tension in the shoulders and arms, and a stiff and uncontrolled swing.

Excessive grip pressure can also lead to swinging too fast and too hard, resulting in loss of control, accuracy, and an erratic flight path.

Enter Smart Swing, a dynamic start-up company that is set to revolutionise the golf industry with its ground-breaking grip pressure measurement tool.

What is Smart Swing?

Designed for playing professionals, world-class instructors, and golfers of all skill levels, Smart Swing’s state-of-the-art tool provides precise data on multiple aspects of the swing for unprecedented game improvement.

But that’s not all. In addition to grip pressure, Smart Swing’s tool also measures other essential swing metrics, including hand speed, whip speed, swing path, swing plane, tempo, shaft lean, angle of attack, and backswing angle.

By accurately measuring grip pressure, golfers can identify and adjust their grip to optimise their swing, resulting in improved performance and better results on the golf course. The audio/visual feedback empowers golfers to make adjustments for optimal performance, giving them actionable feedback to fine-tune their grip before swinging the club.

So how does Smart Swing work?

At the heart of its tool is its innovative grip pressure measurement, capturing data for both the right and left hand throughout the entire swing at an impressive rate of over 1,000 frames per second. Using a unique metric called “Grip Pressure Indicators” (gpi), ranging from 1gpi to 30gpi, golfers can accurately assess their grip pressure and adjust for optimal performance.

All these measurements are captured through their mobile app, allowing golfers to instantly view the data on the range, in the bunker, on the green, and even on the course. The swing data is automatically synced to the desktop software, enabling golfers and coaches to thoroughly analyse their current and past swing data for further improvement.

Smart Swing is set to launch its product on May 15th, 2023, and is currently accepting pre-orders at www.smartswing.golf. Stay ahead of the game and take advantage of this innovative technology by partnering with Smart Swing and tapping into new ways of expanding your golf business.
