When the makers of ShotWatch, were seeking a thin, economical, repeatable and reliable
force sensor to incorporate into their golf-training device, they found Tekscan. Once they
incorporated a FlexiForce® sensor into their prototype, they knew they had discovered the
solution. ShotWatch is a user-friendly, lightweight, and affordable device that is worn
like a wristwatch during practice driving range sessions to help golfers develop swing
consistency through instant feedback and muscle memory training. There are three key
elements that ShotWatch records: swing speed, grip pressure, and tempo. The FlexiForce
sensor is the key to the grip pressure component; as grip on the club tightens, wrist
pressure increases. Thanks to its small physical size, paper-thinness, and low cost,
the FlexiForce sensor provides the non-intrusive force measurement capability needed to
complete the device, which is now commercially available and used by golf pros and novices
alike.
Ted Caldwell of Grip and Rip Technology asserts, "Tekscan's A 201 sensor is working flawlessly in our product, and the grip pressure monitor
feature is our most salient selling point."
