A golfer with hand pain may need softer or larger grips.

FocusGolf gives the experiment a longer memory: automatic swing detection on Wear OS, Apple Watch, and Garmin watches, no club sensors required, plus tempo, speed, consistency, transition, motion data, shot tracking, and club-performance history.
