Abstract
Twenty golfers of varying ability took ten shots each with a standard golf club fitted with thin-film force sensors at the grip. Force was monitored at 84 locations, with the moment of impact determined for each shot. Evaluation of the sensor outputs has shown that each player has a grip force signature, i.e. total grip force throughout each shot is very repeatable for a given player, but varies considerably between players.
