A golf swing monitoring system in the form of a one piece, wrist mounted unit which includes multi-function instrumentation with extremely high degrees of precision that monitors a plurality of critical components of a golf swing. In particular, motion sensors that discriminate finite changes in the timing and speed of the swing are disposed in a housing mounted on a wrist bank analogous to a common wrist watch or timepiece. A third component, user grip pressure, is simultaneously monitored and is similarly housed in the watch housing or casement. The detected parameters are displayed on a LCD which is part of the instrumentation. Finally the calculated values of the swing components can be saved in the memory of the invention. Subsequent swings are compared with those saved and the degrees to which later swings conform or deviate from the values for the saved swing are displayed. The subject invention has a skill level setting, 1 to 5 where 1 is the highest skill level, 5 the least. As the skill level setting approaches 1, there is a much narrower range of tolerance for deviations. Thus the match between the trial or subsequent swing and that saved in the memory of the subject invention must be nearly exact. Conversely, lower skill level settings are more forgiving and offer a wider tolerance for deviation from the saved values of the swing components. |
