Abstract
A capacitive force sensor which has a plurality of layers forming a force sensing detector, the detector providing a signal in response to pressure, feedback output in response to the signal from the force sensing detector and a housing for encompassing the force sensing detector and the feedback providing element. The housing can be a squeeze ball, squeeze cylinder, a hitting target, a baseball or golf glove or can be implemented as part of an actual grip, such as for a golf club.
