Abstract
A system, method and apparatus for training a swing movement of a club includes storing a desired swing data in a measuring device, capturing a training swing data in the measuring device, comparing the training swing data to the desired swing data to determine a set of differential data, outputting a signal to a user corresponding to the set of differential data.

The measuring device to capture a swing movement of a club, comprising:
- a first three dimensional accelerometer to capture a first two-dimensional vector of acceleration within a first range of acceleration;
- a second three dimensional accelerometer to capture a second two-dimensional vector of acceleration within a second range of acceleration different from the first range of acceleration;
- a first angle sensor to capture of a first rotation angle, a second rotation angle and a third rotation angle, the first rotation angle corresponding to the first two-dimensional vector of acceleration around a z-axis, where the z-axis is substantially normal to the two-dimensional vector of acceleration, the second angle of rotation corresponding to a one-dimensional acceleration vector to a y-axis, the y-axis is essentially perpendicular to the one-dimensional acceleration vector.
