Umbrella Sports

Umbrella Sports is a company that focuses on developing innovative golf technology products. Their flagship offering, SmartGrip, is a device designed to enhance a golfer's grip and improve their overall performance on the course. SmartGrip utilizes real-time hand position and motion technology to guide golfers in achieving the correct grip before each drive. This technology was developed in collaboration with certified PGA TOUR coaches and professionals, ensuring its effectiveness and adherence to golfing rules.

SmartGrip functions by attaching a small chip to a golfer's glove, which then communicates with the device through a series of LED lights. Once activated, the device guides the golfer in adjusting their grip until the optimal position is achieved, indicated by a green light. This optimized grip promotes consistent and controlled ball flight, leading to improved distance off the tee. Notably, SmartGrip has received approval from the US Golf Association (USGA) under decision #2023-0164, ensuring compliance with the Rules of Golf.

The benefits of SmartGrip extend beyond enhanced performance. By promoting proper grip technique, the device helps golfers avoid errant shots that often result in lost balls, thereby contributing to a more enjoyable and efficient golfing experience. The product's ability to provide real-time feedback and guidance makes it a valuable tool for golfers of all skill levels, from beginners to professionals.
