The Deflexiwrist Glove: A glove that notifies the user when they are putting with an incorrect form.  This is meant to correct bad habits and create muscle memory over time to putt the correct way.

The Deflexiwrist Glove was made to solve the problem of incorrect putting form. People that putt with incorrect form can end up having accumulative pain in their wrist and putting stress on the wrong joints from doing the improper stroke over and over.  This glove provides a way to practice how you putt and prevents future pain and discomfort.

The process of making the glove started with a simple splint inserted into a sleeve in the fabric of the glove to keep the wrist stationary.  The first function for a user is to use the splint, preventing wrist movement. When they feel they are ready to take out the rigid structure and test their muscle memory, they simply slide out the hard splint and use the electronics to test themselves. The glove utilizes a rechargeable battery, an Arduino nano, a flex sensor, and a buzzer.  It alerts you when you are breaking the correct, straight plane formed from your elbow all the way to your knuckles when putting.  The ideal putting stroke is one where you keep your wrists immobilized and allow your shoulders to do the work.  However, untrained golfers often develop the habit of using a flicking motion with their wrists to putt when they are first learning.  To create the correct form in users, whenever the flex sensor on the Deflexiwrist Glove is bent, the glove emits a noise to alert the user that they are putting incorrectly.
