OUR STORY
LORI SARGINSON
My dad taught me to golf when I was young, it was our time to spend time together to simply hang out with each other. Golfing was the perfect way to spend quality time together and became the foundation of a close bond between us, that lasted a lifetime.
Once I entered the business world, golf became an opportunity to connect with co-workers and clients. When an accident resulted in the loss of grip in my left hand, I was devastated to realize that I may not be able to play the game I loved anymore. I went to a golf resort and met with the pro on my first day and explained my situation. He told me to come back each morning that week and he would teach me to swing left and one-handed. An interesting experiment that was a colossal failure.
A search of the internet for a solution was equally as unsuccessful, so I set out on a journey to create my own solution. After several years and many prototypes, SWINGRIP was born. Before taking the leap to patent and manufacture the first batch, I played a minimum of one round of golf a week, for an entire season, using the prototype. The consistency of my ball strike significantly improved, as did my enjoyment of the game and best of all I shaved an average of 10 strokes off my round of golf.
After having done the research to understand how many people have reduced grip strength, for a multitude of reasons, and being convinced this prototype really worked, I made the decision to make SWINGRIP available to others. I convinced my friend and regular golf partner, Lorelei, to join me on the journey to making SWINGRIP a reality and we are proud to say the first run is currently being manufactured and look forward to it being available to the public, in early 2024.
