The HackMotion wrist sensor is an innovative golf technology that offers real-time feedback on wrist positions during a golf swing. Blaire McKeith of AmateurGolf.com put the device through its paces and liked it so much that he shot back-to-back rounds in the mid-60s the same week.

His video review (embedded below) is based on a hands-on session with the sensor at Coronado Golf Course -- a public course with gorgeous weather and views of the San Diego Bay -- explores how Hackmotion device and its accompanying app can help golfers improve their game by providing precise data on wrist movements.

KEY FEATURES

One of the standout features of the HackMotion Wrist Sensor is its "Position Cards" function. This feature dissects the golfer's wrist movements on every swing, providing insights into whether their wrist is in the optimal position or if adjustments are needed. The device tracks wrist angles at the top of the swing and during the downswing, offering guidance on refining your technique.

HackMotion stands out with its coaching capabilities. Specifically, it provides swing analysis, prescribes guided drills tailored to the golfer's needs, and delivers real-time feedback to help address those issues effectively.

PERFORMANCE ON THE RANGE

During the session, Blaire started with an 8-iron and immediately noticed the value of the sensor's feedback. The device indicated that while his wrists were in the correct position on his backswing, they were too flexed on his downswing. This feedback was crucial as it pinpointed the exact moment in his swing that needed adjustment.

The sensor consistently highlighted that his hands were too high at impact, which he knew to be a longstanding issue. By using the feedback from HackMotion, Blaire was able to adjust his technique, gradually lowering his hands at impact, which helped him achieve better control and improve his accuracy.

IMMEDIATE IMPACT ON BLAIRE'S GAME

The HackMotion Wrist Sensor not only helped Blaire identify flaws in his swing but also provided a clear path to improvement. By practicing with the sensor, he started to feel the difference in his swing mechanics. The immediate feedback allowed him to make necessary adjustments on the spot, which is a significant advantage over traditional practice methods, where the impact of changes might not be felt until much later. One of the most insightful moments was when the sensor revealed that Blaire's wrist angle at impact was causing his shots to start slightly right and draw more than desired. By working on the drill suggested by the device, he corrected this tendency, leading to straighter, more controlled shots.
