I am advising someone on how to track (#1) the motion of a golf club swing =
and (#2) also a golf club waggle.  My thought is to use two wireless inerti=
al sensors mounted temporarily on the club plus a camera to provide the ine=
rtial sensors with absolute position data.  The camera would be supplied wi=
th a method of getting it arranged perpendicular to the center of the earth=
..  Due to parallax would it be important to establish height above the grou=
nd relative to the golfer=92s feet ?  Would two cameras improve the possibi=
lity of determining a plane through which the swing occurred ?

Is there a better approach ?    Golf club head speed typically varies betwe=
en 50 and 150 mph.  The 150 mph belongs to mad-dog long drive pros.   Tiger=
 woods is about 116 mph.   http://members.swingmangolf.com/average-golf-swi=
