Measurement and analysis of golf swing using 3D acceleration and gyroscopic sensors

This paper describes the analysis of golf swing motion based on measurements obtained by a very simple device. Conventional studies generally use large, expensive equipment such as high-speed cameras. In this study, we used a small, low-cost device employing 3D acceleration and gyroscopic sensors. The device was attached to the grip end of the golf club in order to measure the grip motion angle during the golf swing. The results of the experiment are in good agreement with the results obtained from high-speed cameras.
