Tempo and timing in golf has such a substantial impact on the swing. Certainly it can be a saving grace when so much else is out of synch. Here’s an excerpt from the article:
Robert D Grober, Yale professor of Applied Physics and Physics, has combined his passion for golf and his professional expertise to produce a unique and effective real-time audio biofeedback device for teaching and training golf.
Grober developed a golf club that has motion-detecting sensors, similar to those used for safety air-bag deployment in cars, embedded in the shaft. Sonic Golf’s unique feature is the use of real-time audio feedback. “We were able to identify a signal from the sensors related to the speed of the club,” Grober said. “We convert this signal into an audio soundscape that is universally intuitive to golfers and instantly interpretable, providing real-time audio feedback on the tempo, timing and rhythm of the golf swing.”
A patent was filed through the Yale Office of Cooperative Research and the technology is licensed to his company, Sonic Golf, LLC. He has successfully tested his clubs with leading PGA teaching professionals in Pinehurst, Southern California, Maui, and Florida.
