Golf club grip training device
First Claim
1. A golf club having a handle and a head, a first pressure sensitive transducer on the handle and positioned to sense the pressure exerted by a pincer finger action applied by one hand of a golfer, a second pressure sensitive transducer on the handle and positioned to sense the pressure exerted by a grip action applied by the other hand of a golfer, read-out means separate from the golf club, electrical signal transmission means linking each of the transducers to the read-out means, and means associated with the read-out means for providing a visual time-based display of a signal representative of pressure changes sensed by each of the transducers when the golfer executes a stroke.

Abstract
A handle for a golf club is provided with pressure sensitive transducers at locations corresponding to the positions at which a right handed player exerts pressure with his right thumb and with the last three fingers of his left hand. The electrical outputs of the transducers are transmitted to a pen recorder which provides traces from which faults in the player'"'"'s technique are apparent by a comparison of the traces obtained with corresponding traces produced by an expert golfer.
