    Abstract: This disclosure if directed to an improved pressure, force, and orientation sensing system, which may be applied to various industrial articles or sports equipment, fore remote performance analysis and user interface. Where applied to sports equipment, including a golf club, the sensor array of flexible and resilient piezo-resistive material permits collection of grip force data for an array of positions around and along the golf club grip handle; for the analysis, processing and communication of the data once collected, and a method of providing automated golf instruction using a force sensing golf grip of the present invention. Where applied to improved manufacturing lines and shipping of containers, force sensing packages may be equipped with the sensor arrays disclosed herein. The force sensing package is of similar shape to a standard sized package the ordinary forces on which are being tested and by the sampled force sensing package. Control and display software collects the force sensing data, and possibly other data (including motion and orientation data), and communicates it to analytics and display software remote from the device. The force sensing package is comprised of layers, at least two of the layers of which is a force sensing material and a related electrode array. Shapes disclosed are cylinders (cans), cylinders with conic portions (bottle), and parallelepipeds (boxes).
